Boot lacing techniques/styles
Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2013 2:24 pm
Hey interweb fellows, I have a question and I was wondering if you can help me out.
I got a pair of la sportiva nepal evo gtx's lightly used for an awesome discount, and I really love the functionality of the boot, my physio calls them 'the monsters' but personally i think they are a little magic. I don't get blisters, a bit of soreness on the sides of the big toes, but the heel feels great. The problem is, I get bruising on the top of my feet, over the arches. It feels fine on a two day mountaineering adventure, but at the end of the trip the tops are slightly swollen and discolored... too much pressure clearly. With no blisters, happy feet otherwise, an awesome boot and a huge discount, I feel like i can optimize these bad boys a bit.
I saw some tips on youtube, and am definitely going to check them out, but does anyone with high arches have a similar problem? does everyone tie their boots with the standard crisscross method? tips from the more experienced would be appreciated!
thanks for helping out a noob
