Looking for ice-climbing-boot heel-hack...
|
So I bought my ice climbing boots (the La Sportiva "Silver Bullets," can't remember the actual name of the boot) before I thought I'd ever get into ice, and before I knew what a good fit for an ice boot would feel like (I bought them for mountaineering purposes, and the shop owner convinced me to get ones that were compatible for ice crampons, just in case). |

Thanks, I'll check those out. Any idea if I can find those at a ski shop (so I don't have to order)? |
|
My bet is most boot fitters will have a heel wedge or three. |

Thanks for the help, Bryan. I searched MP forums and found a thread with a few videos with lacing tips, and that has taken some of the edge off. Hopefully with a new insole/heel cup I can get those durned heels locked. |

I was talking with Sportiva rep and he suggested a 'tounge insert' it is this thing that velcro attaches to the tounge and takes up some of the tounge. I was going to try and buy a couple of pairs at the OR show and try it out. |
