Currently size 17 4E (nominally) flat feet, nine broken bones, eight bone spurs removed and a few other things. For the past year they've been swollen with edema, these are the before pictures. I'm 57, 6-0, 235+-.
When I was young I skied 200 days per year for three years and hammered myself, then had a climbing accident and broke other parts of me and was unable to ski for a while so I went back to college. Back then I wore size 15s, 6-1, 190.
I can still enjoy skiing thanks to bootfitter/coach/hero Miguel Azcarate at Mud Sweat and Gears in Ellicotville, NY. I did go to a recreational Nordica 3-buckle that's a bit soft but at least I can get into it, unlike the Lange race boots I used up until 2014. I wear compression socks before skiing to drive the fluid out.
OK your turn ;-p
Currently with swelling....
