Your ski boots are the foundations to your whole skiing experience and with Former International-Racers in the team, we completely understand the difference the boots can make.
What does a Ski Boot Fitting consist of?
Step 1:
Biomechanical Assessment
The first step to a great fit. This is where we assess your skiing ability, foot size, shape and functionality. We also discuss any past issues.
Step 2:
Ski Boot Selection
Taking the info gained from the Biomechanical Assessment, here we choose the correct boot for your requirements and fit.
Step 3:
Insole Selection
Once we’ve got the boot selected, we move onto insole selection. There are endless benefits to a supportive insole. Reducing fatigue and better distribution of pressure are a couple of the main benefits. We have custom and prefabricated options available.
Step 4:
Boot Modification
If necessary this is the stage where we make Boot Modifications. Be it a liner modification, shell grind/stretch or even cuff alignment we’ve go the tools and know-how to make these adjustments to finish the boot off.
