I am new to the sport of snow skiing. I went twice in the past week. I now have long cuts and blisters on the front of my shins. I have tried two different types of boots, the ones that open at the top and also the ones that open from the back. Both gave me cuts on my shins. I tried thick socks. I also stuff the leg portion of my long underwear into the boot as extra padding. I even tried putting soccer shin pads into my boots for extra padding. However, that seemed unstable while skiing. Any suggestions? Do I have to give up skiing for this problem? My foot size is men's 12.5. I use a size 13 boot because they don't make 12.5. I tried a 12 once, but that seems too small with my toes pushed up against the front of the boot. Thank you for your time.

how exactly do i adjust my skis so that i can properly fit my ski boots into them?

Can they be fixed? Can I do this on my own? Or how much will it cost to get it professionally done?
