Do you wear anything under (a thin sock) the ankle brace? Are your toes bare? This would not work for me in a ski boot.

I wear the ankle brace under a sock. I play softball and umpire. It works great.

Depend on shoe size - it will work fine with sock - under or over - though over might pull the sick too tight. Would have to adjust accordingly.

I wear the brace next to the skin, but you could wear a sock over it or under it depending on how tight that makes it feel. It's warm and comforting next to the skin.

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.

I wear a pair of light weight walking shoes while on the skis. I place the toe of the shoes securely into the stirrups. The traction on the sole of the shoe prevents my foot from sliding backwards while the skis are in motion.

I think it would depend on how large your calf is, because it would sit above the boot more than out would a shoe. Good luck.

reach down into your boot may need shoe stretcher stuff and flex your wrist and knuckles up to insert. Hope that helps.

I bought the skates in my actual shoe size and they fit me perfectly. I skate with my thick ski socks and have no problems. For me, they're great skates!

I would say you can, I wear it with my high top sneakers while playing ball. It was a matter of breaking it in and after that you forget it's there. I would imagine your boots have been broken in so that'll alleviate that part. I would recommend wearing the brace and boots around the house to get things going. It is a thin brace with great support, I would suggest you go with this over any other brand as I did my homework and shopped around. Good luck!

I think you put too much on. Usually apply a thin coat by rubbing it on with my finger, then let the boots sit somewhere warm.

No. And that's a problem. I bought these a year ago and have yet to use because I thought I could easily install them into any boot. Not so easy. My goal this year is to take them to a sporting store and get an insole that I can then use withy any ski boot. I bought these for ski boots...and I rent. So yes, you can cut an insole to work...but I really think if you use these for a ski boot, you need to have the whole boot insert to really work well....that is what the rental place had told me on our last ski trip.

Mine worked well with regular ankle high Salomon trail shoes (for a Spartan race) so for your boots they may be too short.

It worked for me as a splint at night, it is pretty tight on the foot. I used it under socks as well but could not wear it for an extended length of time because it became uncomfortable.

Yes, you should have the ankle supports as tight as you can get them. You might also try adjusting the height you have it set on. You shouldn't experience much movement when you invert.

I went to Dick's Sporting Goods and picked mine up there. They carry the same brand. If you have one in your area, you could do that. The other option, go to the web site and read their directions on how to measure your ankle. I ended up one size down from what I thought I would be. If you have the sports store option, you can always take your shoe off and put it on top of your sock. If the price is better online, order it after testing the product size in the store. :)

I cannot say for sure, as I only bought these. I did use a few objects (e.g., a lipstick tube) to stretch out the small toes. That's where they were the most pinchy on me (4th, 5th toes). I am pretty close to a 6.5 on most things. On some I've done 7. On ski boots I had a 6 and I did smaller on climbing shoes that were really meant to be snug. I thought I googled at one point on sizing and got a comparison of the various styles, like kmd and sprint. If you're at all concerned, wouldn't the one size up be less likely to pinch and you could get those sox with the toes?

Don't have ski shoes but it works great for my husband's hunting boots :) I don't know how I lived without this before. Love it! Hope it helps :)

When I used it, I just applied a layer over the toenails of a cleaned foot. Give it a few minutes to dry, then you can put your socks on.I do not use it anymore and changed to plain vinegar per my podiatrist recommendation. It is a year long process, and you need to hang in there. Quick fixes if advertised are clearly bogus...would not happen.

These are neoprene "booties" and I wouldn't wear them beyond when I'm wading through water. In that case the wool wouldn't help at all. In Iceland my mode of operation was to hike to the side of the river, change hiking boots to sandals and Hydroskin, walk carefully through the icewater and then change back.
