Back foot always falls a sleep!

[CCPD3]

I have size 12 feet and always have seemed to struggle with the back foot falling a sleep. Maybe I should go to a RTP but it been too long with DB. Currently on a syndicate hard shell up front with a rear animal. Don’t really want to angle the boot too much but I open to ideas. Just for reference my rear foot has fallen a sleep in most brands. Radar vapor boot might be best for rear for me but won’t work with a hardshell up front.

Boot is too tight cutting off circulation...

Bigger boot/big RTP maybe HRTP.

I know they can “stretch” snow ski boots with heat and a form...maybe an option if they’re true hard shells (not familiar).

Has to effect your skiing.

You may want to try the new Venom rear boot..

Thinking the new venom might be a option. I hear it’s much softer. The animal rear I have is a size 12/13.

I went from dual rubber binding to reflex front and RTP for this exact reason. Best change I've ever made for my skiing. Makes a huge difference to ski in complete comfort. Simply made me want to ski more passes.

 

I had been skiing on double bindings for literally 40 years. I learned with RTP and skied that way for 7 years when I was a teenager. Not sure if that made the transition any easier. When I first switched to RTP 3 years ago, I felt like I was going to fall off the ski for about a month.

 

Here how I managed the transition. At the start of a season, I switched my rear binding from an HO Animal to a Radar RTP. Took me about a month to adjust but then had a better season than the last few seasons. But I don't like a tight front binding and RTP for safety reasons. I also wanted a more comfortable front binding.

 

The beginning of the next season, I swapped the HO Animal front binding for a reflex hard shell. That turned out to be a more difficult transition in terms of how different if felt at first, but the time to adapt was actually a little faster. I was back to skiing at the previous level in 2-3 weeks. And again, had more improvement that season than in any recent previous seasons.
