Haha well I hope so too as I fully understand the extreme pain ill fitting boots can cause.

I don’t get anywhere near as much ankle pain since the adjustments and the boots are generally getting more comfortable as the season goes on. I still have slight heel lift inside my inner on my right boot as I’ve done nothing about it but it’s not too bad and mostly noticed when skating.

It’s nice not dreading putting them on anymore.

I know ways you can do that. Just hit the biggest jump there as fast as you can, no speed checks! LOL

I had considered something like this but since the movement is within the liner and not the shell I wasn’t sure how it would go and if it would interfere with the heelcup of the footbed.

Maybe!

So put it on top of your foot, between the liner?

But a sponge will only change a couple of mm. if it is more than that can snowboard boots have lifters put in?
