Anyone use Ezeefit for loose-heel boots

Post by Ira » Wed Jan 12, 2022 12:49 am

Hi community,

My Alpina Alaska 75 is too loose in the heel (but the overall width just barely fits my orthotics, which I require).

Has anyone used this, and if so, have you found it to help loose-heel boots fit better, and lessen heel slip for slightly-too-big boots? I already use 2 pairs of socks but still get heel slip.

Thanks!

Just ordered a pair yesterday. Have heard they work well for blister prevention.

I have used the standard thickness ones. They take work well against heel lift.

Thanks Franz! Do you mean that they work well against the heel lift? Or that it takes work to use them (and if so, what techniques does it take)? Thanks!

Sorry, I was writing, "they take up slop" but got distracted. Yeah, they work well at reducing heal lift and protecting your heal from blisters and hot spots.

Your orthotics need to be wider than your feet?

interesting product! I've done the same thing by cutting a thick sock into the same exact shape.
