Hopefully not.

OK, he says shells are the right size . . . could not really go smaller.  It does not help that my ankles have limited range of motion, which means I start pulling/pushing on the heels sooner than I should.  I wonder how much range of motion I've lost in 20 years?  Sigh . . . 

Picked up some footbeds that work well with my high arches, and will get back on the snow . . . then see about foam liners.

Sounds like your shells are too large.

Same size as previous pair from 94, which had to be punched out a bit.  I presume Deeluxe is using the same molds.  I'm headed to Feet First tomorrow, since that is a lot closer than Sugarloaf . . . hopefully I can get some relief.

My main shop is near Sugarloaf, my satellite shop is near UNH.

Or maybe it's vice-versa.

Which shop near UNH?

Sigh, Sugarloaf is a bit far...photo attached.

Enjoyed a couple of hours at Mt. Sunapee today, even ran across @dhamann.  He looked great, I sucked.  Carving is NOT like riding a bike, taking 20 years off was a big mistake.  

Feet are killing me, way too much movement/heel lift/blisters/etc.  The heat-n-mold liners that came with my Deeluxe 325s are not cutting it.  Back in the 90s I used Zipfit silicone injected liners in my Raichle 325s, fitted by Richelson’s Feet First in Plymouth, NH.  

Any recommendations for liners/boot fitters?????

Thanks

Headed there Monday for a day trip.  Dropping GF off for a private ski lesson at 1200 since she has not skied in many years, and was a green-low blue skier back then . . . 

Any hints/things to lookout for?  Tried to pickup a private snowboard lesson to get a tour guide, but no one was scheduled!   

[New Board Porn 19/20!!!]

Time to get back on the snow after taking 20 years off . . . got out last year once at Stratton on the Ginsu, realized what I had been missing.  Also realized a 20 year old board was, well, 20 years old.   Agonized over what to buy, looked for used "new" boards, but finally gave in and ordered a Prior 4WD 169 XCE Carbon.   Hopefully the body holds up . . .
