Thanks for all the replies, for some reason my notifications haven’t been working so have only just seen that I’ve had these responses which is much appreciated.

Have you purchased the downloadable Alignment Manual to go along with the first alignment video? It goes into a lot more detail about boot fitting than Expert Skier 1, and includes a discussion of anatomy and cuff alignment.
No, but I will take your recommendation and do so.

- Model of boots?
Boot model is Salomon Impact 10 CS (120 flex).
Erik wrote:- Do they have cuff adjustments on both the medial and lateral sides?
They have cuff adjustment both sides which I’ve maxed out. i.e. on one side it wound fully CW and on the other fully CCW to pull the cuff over as far as possible.
Erik wrote:- What canting, if any, do you already have on the boot soles?
I have no canting on soles.

Having skied with one boot like this you will notice a huge difference. The good news is that its easy to fix. In my case I needed additional ability to move the cuff which required Diana to put in a different adjustment screw with more range on motion. First max out what your you can with the existing cuff adjustment. Even if you pick up say a centimeter of space it will be way better than the way it is now.
OK so I think I need different adjustment screws with more range. Should I do this to the medial side, lateral side or both sides equal amounts?
