I bought new boots at the beginning of the season. I have now ridden in them close to 20 times. They should be sufficiently "packed out" but every morning when I take my first and sometimes my second run, I have sharp pain in the arch of my right foot.
I have been to many many boot fitters, and no one seems to be able to fix it. If I ignore the pain, eventually it goes away. ( usually by the 3rd or 4th run) The only decent explanation I have gotten for the reasoning behind this is that the boots I have are more rubber then plastic. They have been stretched only to cause the same pain the next day. I have been told I have a wide foot. They sold me on super feet. etc etc etc.
My boots are Dalbello Aerro 57's. I picked them up on the cheap...I will NEVER again cheap out on boots. When I started this though...I didn't know if I was go gin to like it...Why am I going to spend 400-500 on boots.
Well, Its February now...I am counting the days till the end of the season. Not because I want it to end, But I want to sales to start on this years equipment.
Any suggestions on boots. I know people love the Full Tilts, and now I kick myself for not spending the extra money on them when I bought these crappy boots. Advice?
