Boots rubbing heels
- Thread starter Tengu
- Start date
My mum always recommends sitting in with a new pair of shoes or boots - just wearing
them around the house, ideally in the evening when you're sitting down (in my case
chatting to you lot or watching television!) - works for me.
That lacing sneakery is a bit clever. I'd never even heard of anyone doing that before!

Tengu, I am known locally as 'Tootsie' due to certain skills that I possess with womens feet, including the removal of corns and dead skin. PM me your address and a convenient time and I will come round and sort you out. Affectionately, 'Toots'
Aaron, don't tease
Tengu. Altogether too much information.
I know I really didn't want to know so many details about your feet. For future reference, if you want to discuss personal health, hygene, medical, or whatever you call the condition of your feet, there are other sites to do it...where you are less liable to gross out the members and where you can probably find the answer without having to ask.
Boots, fine
Corns, not fine.

I can highly recommend Aaron (Tootsie). He is studying to be a podiatrist and sorted out the corns on my feet. He is very good at the job. He told me that its very important to get them sorted as soon as possible as they can lead to other foot problems.
Thanks again mate....:You_Rock_

Thats ok, but Ill work on it myself.
Ill ask Aaron if I have any unsolvable problems.
(Just annoyed my father by asking his assistance with non working screen washers...he advised me to put water in the tank, and not to bother him `before` checking tank. Duh.)
We must all help ourselves. but we must also know when to ask for help, and when to help others.
and, C Claycomb, corns are an important part of bootfitting and managing footcare in the field, same as dealing with blisters (going from a nongrusome to a grusome condition there!)

Yeah Mr. Claycomb, can't help but feel you are being a bit 'cornist' here (Not to be confused with Cornish) I am finding Tengu's descriptive text relating to her galloping footrot rivetting and dare I say a bit exciting - Maybe Aaron and I could do one foot each?

YOU LEAVE HER ALONE 'MATE' I WAS HERE FIRST

Tengu, I guess you left a lasting impression on those two when you met them at the Reading Meet.
I cannot thank you enough for your advice. I have a pair of Scarpa boots that have been giving me grief around the heels. I tried your suggestions today and my heels were fine. So simple but made a huge difference. Many thanks for an awesome tip.
An excellent way to prevent heel slippage is to use the '''Runner's Tie Knot''', as the name suggests it keeps boot/shoe firmly in place under strenuous use, i use it myself and it makes an enormous difference to comfort especially when going downhill, see the link added for how to tie the knot and also other useful knots/info on laces. http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/locklacing.htm
PS -- ever wondered why a lot of sports footwear has ''two'' close eyelets at the top, well this is specifically designed to suit the locklacing tying method.
I suffer from arthritis especially in the ankles, one day I cut out a layer of that blue sleeping mat stuff (I have a thermarest type now) and inserted into my boots, what an amazing difference it has on my feet...need to get them amputated next week....nahhh! I jest, my feet feel brill nowadays.
Try putting some at the back of yer boots.
