cankles

About a month ago I bought a pair of Garmont Syner-gs and they are giving me cankles. Every time I ski them my ankles get, and stay, swollen and sore for days. Has anybody else ever had this problem? Is it a technique thing? My previous boots were Veloces, which I skied for four years, and before that Supercomps, so I am used to skiing a lot from my ankles. Am I fighting the boots and needing to change my technique? Also, somehow I managed to put a gash almost all the way through the bellows on the OUTSIDE of the left boot skiing at Alpental on Sunday. I have no idea how it happened; I just looked down...and there it was. Any ideas on how to fix it? Or if it's worth appealing to Garmont?

Fix your heel, fix your problem.<br><br>Just kidding, but it seems like such a fine opportunity to abuse a cliche.

Cankles?? Not familar with the term

I like that! 20 yrs as a Nurse and I had not heard the term. now to use it as a verb in a trip report, Markarf I think you are able..... <br><br>

Most of my abilities involve the use of Google whenever I have a question about anything. The use of "cankle" as verb, adjective, adverb etc., on the other hand, I'd consider nothing short of inspired. "We encountered excessive wind-cankling" or "invitingly-cankled snow pillows," perhaps.<br>
