Skier Reviews

Solved a tricky bunion fit the shops wouldn’t touch
Leon H. · Submitted Jan 2025
I bought a ski boot punch from you last week to punch out the bunion area in my wife's boots. This was on a pair of Atomic Live Fit boots that already have stretchy rubber inserts in the bunion areas of the lower shell and have a dual compound shell – clear and opaque plastic. The local shops refused to try a punch due to the construction. Used your punch and spot heated to 250°F with a small heat gun and punched the opaque part of the shell right above the rubber inserts. Worked out perfectly! My wife said it feels great, no pain or pressure. Gentle curve, about 5mm extra room at center of bunion.
Customer result
Atomic Live Fit boots · ~5 mm extra space over bunion
Worked perfectly and instructions were on point

I finally got around to punching my boot and the new Boot punch tool worked perfectly! Your instructions were on point. Thank you for the eco wax!

BootForge™ FAQ

What’s the difference between the Standard Kit and the full kit?
The Standard Kit includes the Standard Clamp + Magnetic Receiver + Medium Head — perfect for most punches. The full kit adds additional head sizes for more specialized punches and faster workflow if you do a lot of boots.
Will it work on my boots?
BootForge works on most alpine and touring shells. If you have a very unusual boot and you’re not sure, contact us and we’ll help you confirm compatibility.
Do I need a heat gun?
Heat is required. A heat gun is ideal, but a strong hair dryer can work. You’re softening (not melting) the shell so it stretches and holds shape permanently.
Is it safe to do this myself?
Yes — follow the guide and you’ll be fine. The key is controlled heat + steady pressure. We’re not melting plastic; we’re softening it and applying force gradually.
Why not just go to a shop?
Shops are great, but no one knows your fit like you do — and shop punches add up fast. One punch can cost as much as this whole kit. Many shops also use BootForge because it’s straightforward and repeatable.
