    What are you expecting to experience being fit for boots going forward? What protective measures are you expecting to receive as a customer? What protective measures are you willing to accept to keep the staff safe? Will covid-19 make you more likely to shop online and fit yourself at home? How...

    Sun & Snow-Boot Fitter in Greater Detroit Area

    I was visiting Dearborn, MI, shortly after getting my Fisher Ranger 130 delivered. This is going to be a spare boot for me this season and now it's ready to go when I arrive at Whistler. I tossed last years boots and had none to start the season. So I found only a couple shops that could fit...

    New England Shop Boot Inventories

    Forget boot fitting for a moment. What shops have the most actual in-house inventory of boots and sizes to try on? Background: I'm in a 24 shell - possibly would even be a 23 in certain models. Normal width forefoot but extremely low volume in lower cuff buckle area. My Head Raptor 115s need...

    Custom footbeds for junior racer?

    What's the collective wisdom? Are custom footbeds beneficial for a strong 8 year old skier/ski racer? Or are they counter productive due to rapid foot growth/waste of money? We haven't used them yet, as I didn't feel a need, but as my daughter moves into racing and as a stronger skier, I wanted...

    Buying boots.

    We're tourist skiers from sub tropical Australia and we usually rent boots and skis but we've been doing a fair bit of skiing the last few years so it makes sense to buy boots (for us adults anyway - not so much the kids as they are growing). Our next time skiing isn't until January and we're...

    Anyone Using Short Cuff Boots?

    In taking a realistic look at my physique, I'm coming to terms with my shorter legs and larger calves. I'm now wondering if I would benefit from a short cuff model boot. I know these are generally marketed towards younger skiers and females, so I'm curious if anyone out there (male or female)...

    New ski boot issue...Advice appreciated

    I recently purchased my first pair of ski boots (Atomic Ultra hawk 110 98mm last). The boot fitter in VT seemed very knowledgeable and spent about 2 hours (heatmolding, etc) with me assuring I had the perfect fit. I ski fairly aggressively and this is the end of my first season. A few hours...

    Ramp Delta Angle Question

    I will be getting my new boards - Kore 93's, and bindings - Knee bindings, setup. I normally have my skis balanced to get me in a more forward position. Consequently my toes get raised. I know that the ramp delta angle is dependent on several things, length of the boot sole being one. Prior to...

    Boot Doc Foam Liners

    Currently I have Dalbello Kyra 95 i.d. boots with the Intuition wrap liners that came with the boots. I've loved these boots for the most part but spent much of last season fighting them. I finally had the realization that the liners are done between being packed out and me losing weight...
