Good bootfitter in Denver or Steamboat

[CS2-6]

In mid-October I'll be driving through Denver and Steamboat and thought I might take this opportunity to get my boots fitted. I don't know any bootfitters, but other threads have suggested Lee, Larry, and One Stop Ski Shop (Steamboat).

Are there other bootfitters I should be considering? I don't need the greatest (or most expensive and hard to book) bootfitter, just someone who is good is probably all I need.

Jeff at BootFixation has been taking care of Betsy and I and I'm very pleased.

If you're going to ski at Steamboat, you'll probably want somebody there. If you're just passing through, some of the front range options may work too.

Closer to Denver, Denver Sports Lab in Golden and Larry's Bootfitting (a bit out of your way in Boulder) are strong options.

Are you talking about Larry Fisher?

If so, there is deeply sad news

No, that is not the same Larry. That was in Pagosa Springs. Larry's Bootfitting is in Boulder.

Good to hear.
Still, sad to hear that someone so good got caught with (literally) in the crosshairs of something bad.

I live in Denver, and have tried many in this local area, including the Denver area ones mentioned.

I've heard very good things about the Steamboat folk mentioned. Of your two options, this is the one I'd pick.
Denver Sports Lab I've heard good things about - but for good race ski deals.

It partly depends on what you need done. If it's simple, lots of places might work, but....

I've done well with mostly out of the box fit, for years. Still, these past two years I finally needed a place that doesn't regard recreational or consumer race boots (with a bit of performance fit) as something unusual, or something to charge extra for. And one that works well otherwise, too.

In the end, it seemed as if I would have to go to either Steamboat or Breckenridge to find what I needed, at a decent price. Breck is closer, so it was Chuck at Racer's Edge just off Main Street. Wonderful. As near as I can tell, he can handle anything, and at a down-to-earth price. (And not just race boots.)

I’ll throw in a plug for Chris Brown in Idaho Springs.

just passing through

Yup. Driving up to just south of Wyoming.

Thanks for the input, yall. I'm sure I can get one of those options to dial me in.

Two thumbs up for Chuck Ginsburg at A Racer's Edge in Breckenridge. He's the first and only bootfitter to diagnose my weird anatomical structure that limits my ankle flex as well as address my duck-footed stance. He's patient, very knowledgeable, reasonably-priced, and, for me, the reason why I can ski again without pain (save my recently crushed toes but that's a gravity thing, not a skiing thing). Good luck in your journey!

Nota Bene: I work at A Racer's Edge as a ski tech. I don't do boots.

I highly recommend Chuck and any of our other bootfitters. Chuck has decades of experience, is fastidious and committed to getting you the best fit and alignment possible.

I like the sound of that. He's added to the list.

Thanks to you both.
