How to fit a ski boot


Have you got the time?
We’ve got as much time as you need to ensure the right choice of ski boot, plus the necessary skills, the years of experience and the specialized training required.
There’s technology to ski boots, as you will see…
Feet are really interesting.
Maybe not to you, but they are to us.
And we're prepared to listen to anything you want to tell about foot aches, pains and other issues.
You may be the strong, silent type, but this is your moment to grumble.

A hands-on approach to your feet.

How stable is your foot as your weight shifts from the outer to the inner edge of your sole?

Size 6ski boots from different manufacturers are actually not the same.

Ski boots are not a shell game.

A correct shell sizing is critical to the proper fit and performance of your ski boot.
If you really want to understand…
Analysis of your foot type and its biomechanics may determine that added support through foot beds are required for optimal comfort and performance.
We'll explain it all to you.

Putting your feet to bed.

For most of us, personalized support from custom foot beds will improve comfort, performance and warmth. They also lessen fatigue.
We have a variety of options for your needs.
It has to feel right and look right…
The boot is part of your skiwear look and expresses your sense of style. For look and feel, you choose from one of the largest selections available - from Junior to Adult, Racing to Recreational.

Forward flex...

Improper forward flex might hold you back from improving your skiing.
Trouble in this area could send us off looking for another boot!

Stance and balance…

Do you have trouble putting your skis on edge?
Running a flat ski?
Crossing your tips?
Correct knee alignment is a must for your best performance.

Cool technology plus experience equals the ability to detect stance and balance issues, not to speak of biomechanical problems.
This is not for everyone. But if you have issues or are a professional racer, it can make a big difference.

Don’t try this at home.

There’s quite a bit of skill involved in customizing foot beds for you and your boots.

The last step…

…makes the first step in your new boot as comfortable and safe as possible.
You will not be hurried out of the store. Our staff will ensure care has been taken to make your skiing experience the best possible.
