  2. Boot Fitting For Wide Footed Newbe

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    1. Find out what model boot runs wide.

    2. Buy that boot in your size. You want a boot that properly fits your foot and ankle. Don't up-size to a poor fitting boot just to accommodate your wide foot.

    3. Have the fore foot area on that boot blown out. You can easily gain 1/4 inch or more in the width of a boot by stretching it. It's done all the time.

    Hi thanks very much I was trying the Deeluxe Trac 225. Does anyone know a wide fitting boot ?

    Thanks

    Hi there!

    I read a few boot fittind threads and I understand the way to select the perfect fitting boot is to measure your foot in cm and choose the appropriate boot size. Ie round down to the next size.

    Well I was immediately worried by this because of the width of my feet. I measured them and My feet are about 25.5 long and 10 cm wide (both measurements taken at widest part).

    So I headed to the local shop and tried on a 26 thinking no way am I going to fit in a 25 and wow it was crushing my foot across the "nuckles" at the start of my toe, and it was fairly painful at the widest setting.

    I then tried 27 which I would say was still crushing the same area although a little less. I thought this is ok BUT after an hour or two on the slopes this might end up quite painful.

    The other thing I found is the highest part of both boots felt quite loose. I guess its because I am quite skinny.

    I normally wear 28 softboots and shoes because of my wide feet.

    Any advice ?

    Many thanks

    Hi there I saw a very cheap old board and wondered if it was worth

    picking up as a first step into carving.

    Its a Nitro Arx 1.66 I was wondering if this i Ok for a carving begginer.

    To start with I would just strap on my normal bindings and use my

    softboots.

    Thanks
