Say E Z Fit 10 Xs fast. This, we swear, is your gateway to promoting blister-free touring. Is it the gateway to enlightenment? Not exactly. However, a burning, searing, aching, infected blister (particularly a heel blister) can ruin the day and a trip, let alone prevent one from achieving even lower rungs of the enlightenment…
eZeefit Ankle Booties for the Win
The basic eZeefit 2mm ankle bootie. What it lacks in style is soon forgotten as your heels sink into the realm of blister-free nirvana.

I too have skinny ankles and heels (and most of me, haha). I first heard of the EZ fits from Jason on WS, a while back and have been using them ever since, in touring and resort boots, depending on sock thickness, liners packing out etc.
Thanks for the tip Jason!

I’ve been using these for years to take up extra space and keep my heel seated in my ice climbing boots. Naturally, I started using them for skiing and have noticed similar results in my “comfort sized” touring boots, keeping my heel nestled tight and improving performance. Can’t recommend them enough!

Funny, I just got around to trying them in my ice boots. Indeed, a huge help.
And, even if they don’t work for you, it’s worth trying them, for the price and the fact that there is no modding involved.

As a skinny-heels guy, I finally got around to trying out a pair of these. They were suprisingly unobtrusive. Mine were tight out of the box and made me feel like I would end up with edematous toes, but by end of a 6 hour tour they had relaxed a bit (probably the foot sweat) and I had no such issues. They helped to fill out space in my packed out skorpius and also added a bit of padding over my ankle bones, which often feel bruised after sidehilling firm snow with 100mm skis. For the price, they’re worth it. Your partners will not thank you for how they smell in your car.
