Just for clarification, for excessive ankle dorsiflexion, the gas pedal goes inside the boot. Careful, a little goes a long way. Too much and injury can result. Once this is done if the skier is still overflexed, then it its time to address binding delta.
This is what the fitter at Sturtevant's in Sun Valley did for me last weekend. I have been gas pedaled on the boot sole in the past. This time, he gas pedaled me under my footbed with a Bontex shim he trimmed to sit under my toes mostly. I thought he had done it on the boot board until I pulled them out later. I am amazed at how well it has worked for me. Bonus is that it's easy for tinkerers like me to experiment with. Caveat is you have to have toe room in the boot (I have plenty of that.) It felt weird for a bit, but I quickly grew accustomed to it which he said I likely would. It actually encourages my toes to spread out a bit, too. I'm not sure what thickness of shim he used--I want to say 5mm but he ground it down a bit.
We also stood the cuffs up (the Atomic Redster's have an adjustable cuff that can go from 16 degrees to 18 degrees, and I had moved it to 18 degrees, plus threw a thin spoiler in.) We stood them up to 16 degrees and after a few runs I was feeling pitched forward so removed the spoiler. Magic! I can simultaneously pressure my big toe while maintaining contact with the cuff. Never felt that before!
It's been an interesting journey of discovery figuring out that yes, I have excessive dorsiflexion BUT addressing it at the foot vs. the cuff via more forward lean is what works for me. Interestingly, when I feel balanced in the fore/aft plane, skating feels easier and more powerful.
