Skiing and snowboarding are great ways to have fun in the snow, and it helps that we’re not too far away from some epic snow fields. 🌨
All that downhill movement, twisting, and turning can put some unique stresses on our feet and ankles! 🦶🏽
Here are some things to consider before you hit the slopes: 🏔
• Get your boots fitted by a ski boot fitter 🎿 – your feet shouldn’t be sliding around in your boots. (If you’re hiring skis, take your ski socks with you)
• Make sure your skis are the correct length ⛷
• Consider foot orthotics or heat mouldable foot beds in your ski boots for a better fit 🏂
• Check if your ski socks are moisture-wicking to avoid wet feet 🧦
• Warm up on easier slopes before you hit those double black diamond runs! 💎
For more information or to get your ski boots fitted book into see one of our podiatrists!
