    How much should you be able to move your toes? Should you be able to lift up the base of your big toe at all? 1mm?
    How much metatarsal compression is normal from side to side?

      @@Wrgb1 toes are a bit subjective, a reason being is some people have a lot of toe mobility some have next to none. Little bit of toe movement is ok. You want your feet to feel secure and snug without being painful, connected and an extension of you.

    Good information, my question , I measure 25 cm length , when I shell fit my toes are not against the toe of the shell ,Is that common ? When you put the liner in the shell then my toes are close to the front of the boot . Is that normal?

      When you shell fit a pair of boots, put your foot in the shell, toes all the way to the front, what we're measuring is the distance behind your heel.
      What boots are you in, model size?

      @@PlaneImpactGolf 1 - 2 cm, 1 cm being a more aggressive fit, 2 cm being what most people prefer. If you measure 25.5 and are in a 25.5 that is true to size it is very likely you are in a 2 cm fit.

    The last 3years i think my ski trips sucked! Because my boots just didnt fit right. I shove in the back and to me they feel way to loose, i also have soles in it but didnt help at all. I always buckeled my boot really tight so it felt more stiff but than i had to open them up again in the lift because my feet hurt really bad. This year im going for way stiffer boots think that will help.

      @@ClassicTor stiffer boots will help because a stiffer boot does a more effective job of keeping you balanced. When you don’t have to work as hard, you get less fatigued.
      Stiffer boots being more work is a major misconception is ski boots, it’s the opposite.
