Hug Masso Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 The title says it all. My Deeluxe Free69 are giving quite a lot of pain. I cooked the Palau liners once but following @Corey instructions they will be cooked again to gain some space at pressure points. Now, should those plastic insoles/footbed that come stock be removed? I have a “good” footbed I bought from Decathlon, and maybe removing this plastic thing will make some little more room. Whats the consensus? Let me illustrate… Thank you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechocolate Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 That's a bootboard. It's supposed to provide a flat surface for your liner to sit on. You may feel the ribbing through the liner and insole if they are low-volume and lack much padding. It might be uncomfortable or you might not care. Try it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks David, and also for the bootfitting stuff, I am still dialing everything. I have bought UPZ see how they feel. Did your 425 Pro fitted perfectly out of the box?

I have really normal feet and using the directions from the alpine carving site, I have been very happy with deluxe boots and stock themo liners. I do spray the liners on the outside with a 3M spray adhesive and let them dry before putting them in shells. This added little bit of rubbery texture prevents the liner from sliding in shell. Sometimes I use a bit of adhesive boot fitters foam to help hold my heel down. I can send you some pictures in a few days if you are curious. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting idea! Could help with that last tiny bit of heel lift where my liner slips upwards. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabber Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Can you share which 3M spray you're using @dredman? I'm sure there's a few to choose from. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you can, I really like how everybody does different tricks and that helps me understand better. Just to be sure then: you cooked the thermoliners and did the foam and toe caps thing and that has worked for you. Never have had any pressure point? It bothers me cause I also believe I have very normal feet, but maybe I am wrong… Thank you (and hope you are recovering smoothly from your crash in Switzerland).

dredman Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 @Hug Masso I will post some pictures tonight or tomorrow. Yes, always followed those directions. No problems. Making progress, but healing 15 breaks at once is exhausting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hug Masso Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 Thanks! I’ll wait for the pictures, the season’s over here, so have some time to do that shit and try to have the best fitting boots of all time. Comment aside, 4 or 5 years ago I had 6 broken ribs doing boxing, and it was shitty 1 month after, although to be fair once you are ****ed, you might as well be ****ed everywhere, and then, when you get better, EVERYTHING gets better. So yeah, better to happen all at once than one thing after the other. I know it is not the most elaborate consolation, but it worked for me. Probably the most important thing is you seem to have a playful and positive character, so that will help. Beware if they are stuffing you with opioids, get off of them ASAP, cause at some length they can become a nightmare and make you heavily addicted. I know you know, but again, doesnt hurt to remember. In the USA, some hundreds thousands have died from the opioid epidemic. Here in Europe, there is much more control, and those medications are reserved for hardcore cancers and folks who have a few day lefts to live. Keep on truckin’ Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 @Hug Masso I have been off the pain pills for over 3 weeks. I really do not like how they make me feel at all. They were mandatory to get any sleep for the first 3 weeks. Ribs are knitting up but still noticeable. Jogging or bouncing around both the shoulder and ribs ask me kindly to stop. But I want to get back to both bouncing and jogging so I keep checking. nicely, You can see a thin layer of boot fitter foam I stuck in there. Just helps with my heel hold down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
