ski bootfitter

I’m headed to the shop this week in search of new boots. I’ll need something in a 120-130 flex with a fairly wide forefoot (102-104mm) and a medium to high instep. Any suggestions?

I am in the RS130. I had footbeds/canting done by bootfitter. The heels were a bit loose so I went back and he put in a heel cup. Yesterday, I took out the footbeds and found 1/4 inch heel lifts in both boots. Is this normally done with heel cup placement? Why is this done? I skied without...

I'm shopping for my first real inbound boot since I was a kid. I first moved out west, I went straight for a touring setup since I was mainly looking for a way to move efficiently for winter climbing, but I won a season ski pass and met a cute park rat and started skiing inbounds for about half...

So I just purchased my first pair of plug boots from Dalbello and after trying them on they feel completely different than my race boots (98mm last) from the previous season. I don't really know how to describe the difference, but it feels like my foot has less feeling in the plug boot and not...

Gang, I was speaking with a boot fitter today who indicated that the last on a Lange RS 130 is 97 across all sizes. It would appear to be in direct contravention to all other ski boots that increase the width as the size increases. Does anyone have anything definitive on this topic? I have a...

I have been thinking about new boots for a while and made the move today to go in and try on some different boots. I decided to go to a local shop (I live in Mass) with a good reputation as we ski at different areas and will always be coming back home. I worked in the ski industry for about 15...

Is there a way to move the cuff on a Fischer more than what is available with the red inserts?

Hi All: I have a question about how the forefoot should be trimmed around the metatarsalsarea. I ski in Technica mach 1 130 LV boot. My foot shape is a narrow heel and last with a widening forefoot around the little toe box area. The boot was widen in the forefoot area but not by a...

I have this problem where my calves are way too big diameter for my boots to buckle and feel good. My calves (especially the left one) change size dramatically, sometimes swelling up and sometimes slimming (relatively) down. I bought these boots specifically because they fit my calves...

I'm looking at buying my son his first pair of ski boots this year, but, before making the investment, want to make sure his foot is done growing. He is 18. I assume I am safe to get him boots, but interested in others' opinions/experience.

I've been going through my old boot quiver trying to come up with something that will work for my screwed up right leg this season. In my troubleshooting effort to relieve foot pain I discovered (or possibly re-discovered as it's been so long that I might have figured this out previously) that...

I'm 6'5", 195 lbs and a solid intermediate skier, who spends 90% of his time on groomers. Do you think that a Salomon X Max 120 is too much flex for me?

I recently ordered some Lange rx130 boots in 100 last, they'll be the first new boots I've owned in probably 15 years (basically stopped skiing cold turkey.) The last few pairs I did own were Lange WC Plug boots. No idea what they were called, but I do remember they were the legit plug boots and...

During and after this season, I started to develop bunions on both feet, with my (longer) left foot experiencing the most discomfort. At this point, some of my normally comfy shoes hurt, so I need to address the issue medically AND with my boots....which is where you guys come in. Currently, I...

So my girl got new boots at the beginning of the season. She got a set of soft flex beginner oriented Head boots, for how she likes to ski (ie gently) they were perfect. But as the season went on she has been struggling. She started talking about them packing out so much that even with all...
