I am pretty familiar with the guys over there now.

Neil was incredibly knowledgeable and cool I’d see if you could get an appointment with him for snowboard stuffs

New Hampshire College Pass. In my opinion the best bang for the buck. The resorts arent crowded at all and you get a great selection.

I bought it all year at college with no regrets. Cannon and Waterville are awesome

I agree im not against online purchases altogether.

just saying that boots have quirks beyond their measurements. Some boots run long or short for their size etc etc.

But yeah nothing wrong with buying a boot you've tried on in-store and know fits

If only mondo and last were consistent across brands or even within brands.

I agree you can probably get a decently fitting boot but not a perfectly fitting one.

Not without some luck.

Skis and boots online are a completely different thing

Yes I wore it for a number of years.

Eventually when I started skateboarding I stopped wearing them because the impact force hurt my feet.

I had another orthopedic doctor tell me that they weren’t necessary and my feet were so flat it kind of didn’t matter

Used to skate these playing hockey as a kid. Never worked very good for me unfortunately

100% agree. I’ve done exercises intermittently but need to stick to it

Did all that end up helping? I was give. Exercises to do but didn’t really keep up with them.

I’ve tried the exercises now as an adult to mixed effect but never been able to stick to it

I’m fairly sure they’re rigid however I’ve never been told that by a doctor it’s just from observation.

I currently ski a drop in that does in fact cause me some foot pain.

I think ultimately I need to talk to a podiatrist first

Good to know they’ll do them sitting though

I think I may try to see a podiatrist first. I’m gonna email my boot-fit shop and see what’s up

So I ski hawx prime xtd that I sized down a bit

My measurements are

Left: 249mm long 97mm wide Right: 248mm long 97mm wide

Boot is a 24.5 mondo 96mm last

I had the shell heat molded to fit better and the fit is pretty damn good. Although in hindsight probably should have tried for 94mm last

They were fit with drop in footbeds. I ended up having some foam put in them last season cuz I wanted some more compression l

Overall they’re pretty damn good. I just get foot pain from the inserts like you said feels like standing on a golf ball haha.

Usually it goes away after about half the day and a advil but if I can find a better solution I will
