Ok - since 2000, I have been a huge fan of the ole plastics - I bought these in late 2000 (degre's) and they have served me very well - in fact I used to hark that they were the most comfy boots I owned.
I am going to estimate they have 500-600 miles. never had problems. Last 2 times out - I am getting seroius bang on the inside left ankle bone. I have tried all different combo of loose tight inner/outer boots - nothing really helps. It came to the point that I had went to my montrail morraines (which were fine BTW) this past weekend cuz I couldn't risk pain and going slow with low temps. (and you can climb easy ice in montrail morraines )
I have called Koflach and they didn't really have answers besides "you need a new inner boot that costs 100 bucks". I was thinking of padding it somehow with foam, but then you risk a pressure spot. I just think its odd - all of a sudden. I am thinking going over to the leather mountainerring boots - I have to sort this out prior to heading out west this summer.
I would spend the 100 bucks for the new inner - but now thinking maybe just get new leather mountainerring boots like la sportiva, boreal, etc, that way the problem will hopefully be solved with new boots.
but before I do that - anyone have thoughts, are had this issue when inners wear out?
thanks
