Plastic Double Boot Stretching

[Coldfinger]

Howdy, I'd just like to hear from any of you all that have any experience with stretching plastic double boot shells, got a new pair of Scarpa Omegas and am thinking they'll need a little more width for anything thicker than ski socks.

I had a pair of plastic ski boots (Garmont Mega Rides) stretched for width. Had it done at Fairhaven B&S in Bellingham. I would say that if you hear off a competent boot fitter, it is DEFINITELY worth it. Was for me.

Ways back, I had a pair of omegas when BD was distributing them. A very long walk in them gave me blisters in the arches of my feet. I guess I have somewhat flat feet (not flat enough to need special shoes though) and the arches in the boot were fairly pronounced. I don't know if that is still the case for omegas but something to watch out for.
