Today was day 13 on the Gara + Lange Shadow 130. First hour+ is just pure pain. My right boot is much better but not perfect and left boot hurts so much. After an hour or so it get better but they are either way too loose or hurt so bad. There is no sweet spot with the buckles. Go in for lunch and it's like my feet shrink a whole size and they fit much much better. Still never "comfortable" and not sure what else I can really do. Honestly, the kid who fit them may not really know what he is doing. The liners seem so thin that I don't see how I can improve anything. They are also SO fucking cold. Like a balmy 25 degrees and it feels like I have no liner and just a plastic boot on my bare foot. Did I "ruin" myself with nice thick power wraps for 20 years? Custom masterfit footbeds for what it's worth.
Should I heat them again at home? 130 degrees in the oven with DIY toe caps?
