Boot Fitting & Custom Orthotics

No skier enjoys the pain of ill-fitting boots. Our experienced boot fitters specialize in diagnosing and fixing common boot pain and performance issues, ensuring comfort and control from first chair to last run.

Our boot fitting services include:

  • Custom footbeds (Superfeet & Downunders)
  • Custom liners (Zipfit)
  • Race modifications and stance alignment
  • Basic fitting and shell punching
  • Boot repairs and part replacements

Every fitting starts with a professional diagnosis, and we never make adjustments until we’ve pinpointed the issue. Our goal? Long-lasting comfort and better performance on the mountain.

“It’s so nice to enter a store and find people who know exactly how to help you. I want to thank Kevin for working with me to make my ski boots comfortable. Yes, I have comfortable ski boots. It's possible, in part thanks to Footloose.”
