Hi friends-
This year will see me return to the slopes after having to take many years off due to health complications. One of which was having some bone resceted in my left foot due to a bad MRSA/STAPH infection. As a result, my left foot often swells up which is going to cause an issue for me. Have any of you folks ever heard of any custom made ski boot manufacturers?

Thanks
Ryan

The only one I know of is Surefoot, but I'd be willing to bet if you made some inquiries at a reputable shop they'd know more. Good to hear you're back on the hill!

What do you think Surefoot could do for me?

Thank you for the kind words and suggestions. I'll check into that. I've got a MAJOR weight loss and increased cardio fitness goal and program that starts tomorrow so that I can hit the slopes being under 250 lbs to save as much wear and tear on my joints and foot as possible.

Bud/Max- What options have you been able to find thus far?
