Left boot issue

So a few weeks ago I sprained my ankle and I also got new boots... I just went skiing today and my left foot is tending to go pigeon toed on me. Do you guys think it's injury related or maybe a canting issue? I'm really not sure what would cause this. My boots have been fitted/molded/orthotics ect...

I wouldnt think that it is due to the boot. After any injury like that, it takes a while for those areas to return to their original range of motion. Just give it another week or two of skiing and it should feel natural again.

i would disagree and would think its more of a boot issue. A twisted ankle will not really affect you in a boot, as the boot holds the ankle and stops it being able to turn.

I would guess its a footbed/ shell shape issue. What footbeds did you get and what boot are they in?

get those footbeds molded to your feet and stabilized they will feel much better, and hopefully help with your problems.

Look into some physio to help heal the ankle and strengthen the muscles.
