Bootfitter

Try putting superfeet (or something like it) inside. That's always worth a go.

A bootfitter will also be able to make some adjustments to help solidify the heel in the boot.

i once did DIY j-bars out of sturdy foam and duct-tape. i cut out circles of the foam and taped them on the outside of the liner under and just tried until i got the right spot for them to prevent heel rise. used those boots for that season and they were a couple seasons old, however a boot fitter eill help you with the issue and might be able to fit you with legit j-bars.

A boot fitter would be able to recommend a new boot and liner that would have better heel hold for you after properly measuring your feet and assessing what boot would work well for you.

Custom footbeds are always a good idea that could be transferred to your new boots.

A short term solution would adding C or L pads to the outside of your liner to better hold your heel in your existing liners. Intuition liners sell them on their website or your local bootfitter would have something similar.

KernI have a pair of Dalbello Il Moro MX110s, and I can lift my heel within them. I might try a heel riser from amazon, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions before I try that. I am also open to the idea of buying new boots, so feel free to suggest a brand and model if you have had the same problem. Thanks :)

Hi, Bootfitter here. You really should go to your local shop and have them take a look. The heel lifts can help, but it may just as well be that you need a Jbar or or some other form of padding to remove space around the ankle. What you should really pay attention to is whether your heel is sliding all the way back in the boot and where the boot is loose when it is all the way back in the boot.

Thank you! I visited one last night. He made some J bars and set me up with lifts.

What kind of foam did you use?

yeah_boiWhat kind of foam did you use?

absolutely no idea what foam it was, it's been 3 seasons since i did it, sorry man. i remember it was from a package we received at the shop that year and quite thin and dense. not styrofoam tho!

No fewer than 12 shims.
