Hey Jim I'm not your boot fitter but something struck me when you mentioned ankles. In the past when fitting my boots, if I had any pressure point on the front or sides of the ankle, specifically ankle bone area, I found that part of my ankle was not set properly into that portion of the boot the factory designed.

What I had to do was at the most heat and punch out (by others) or sand or drummel that area out so that the pressure was felt equally along the medial and lateral sides of the boot rather than just on the ankle bone. In my experience, being able to leverage the skis edge with pressure distributed equally along the lateral and medial sides increases stability.

Feel the pressure evenly from the ankle to to top of boot (inside and outside edges of lower leg) and you'll find great power and leverage.

Are ya feeling it Jimbo?
