When your child cant move feet inwards

[tomtom88]

Hi, Not quite sure how to explain this - my yr10 child with no sen, light framed and sporty eg doing gcse sport so athletic cannot seem to learn to ski. Specifically on their second lesson the coach said my child just cannot seem to move his feet inward at all in order to turn the skis. I am quite worried now because my child is looking forward to the school ski trip and its obviously going to be no fun if they cant ski even at a very basic level. Any thoughts? Ideas?

I assume the instructor has checked that the boots fit properly and are securely done up. He should be able to wriggle his toes but if he can move his foot or lift his heels within the boot they need to check the sizing and/or the fit adjusting as they should be snug and move with his ankle. Loose boots will make it much harder and risk injury.

I thought that too as I googled the issue. If boots are loose he’ll struggle
