NopeI'm guessing heat moldable boot shells and heat moldable liners will put many a bootfitter out of business.
They generate more business
But the great ones are far too busy anyways

They’ll probably put many of the mediocre ones out of business.I'm guessing heat moldable boot shells and heat moldable liners will put many a bootfitter out of business.
I haven't tried the heat moldable boot shells, but the heat moldable liners don't even come close to custom foamed liners.I'm guessing heat moldable boot shells and heat moldable liners will put many a bootfitter out of business.

Likely it'll make for worse fitters over time.
Does anyone know which boot lines GMOL carries?
When I was there, boot selection was sparse. This was a surprise to me.
Same here. It's a tiny "shop." Bill had Rossi and Lange boots on the wall when I went there a few years back, and maybe a couple of one more brand but not sure. He doesn't keep much stock so he may need to order your size, as was the case for me. He did order Dale boots for a friend, and took them back with a full refund when they didn't fit. I got a pair of Rossi Heroes from Bill that I had to wait for and come back to buy. They didn't work out, caused great pain, and had to be replaced the next year. Those replacement boots were Tecnicas. They do fit, but I got them from a different bootfitter elsewhere, who is my go-to guy now.When I was there, boot selection was sparse.

Don't know what he caters to. Several years ago I talked to him about plug boots. Couldn't get them. I moved on.I'm not sure but I would guess with his core work being boot fitting, he mostly caters to those serious about the sport and carries those boots and or has access to them. I wasn't really paying attention to what he was carrying when there last time but I know he carries Langes. At a previous fitting along with Langes he had Technica and for some reason, I'm remembering the green Dalbello race boot on his wall this past time. Not sure though.
Pffft, I often drive three hours to ski for two hours.... each way three hours so 6 hours of driving for a 2 hour ski session.
So what's wrong with DIN?It's 3D printed boot shells and liners from perfect scans of your feet that will put boot fitters out of business.. That and when the DIN standard finally changes over to a wider footprint universally. When the bottom of ski boots are shaped more like the bottom of snowboard boots instead of being up on a 64 mm plank the overall comfort of ski boots will increase dramatically. And, it will happen when more people are skiing wider skis. When racers are skiing on 80mm waist skis boot DIN will probably finally change.
