Skiers' Shoes 'Watered'

But It's a Plan To Make Them Fit

By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. 26--8Skiers

And Fred A. Picard, designer

of all kinds of ski-wear except boots, and fashion-arbiter at Sun Valley, Ida., says that's just exactly as crazy as skiing in the first place. It depends on your point of view. Skiers who KNOW, Mr. Picard said, pay from $30 to $50 for a pair of boots and insist that the boots pinch. Then they take them out to the mountains and “break them in” with methods that would give Any respectable shoemaker cold shudders and usually give the breakers-in hot blisters. A favorite method is to fill the too-tight boots with good, hot| water. The real skier then puts the soggy boots on his feet over a thin pair of sox and goes for a walk in the snow,

Makes Leather Stretch

, Mr. Picard said, is to make leather stretch and shrink in the right places to conform to the wearer's own personal ankle ‘bones, “like a glove.” If the skin and ankle bones can't stand the gaff, the expert wears foam rubber ankle protectors during the process. In the/end, ifihe doesn't catch pneumonia or rub off ALL the gkin, he is ready to ski, Mr. Picard sald, Mr. Picard explained it this way: “The boot is a part of the

Padding Won't Help

Padding a pair of comfortable boots with sox won't help, either, he said. “Then you're just turning your ankles with cushions.
