| Things to consider when buying ski boots:
1. Don't listen to your friends. What works for your buddy may not work for you. They're your feet, not your buddies, and every foot is different. Different boots will fit different foot shapes. 2. Have your feet measured. This accomplishes several things, like knowing how big your feet are. We measure your feet both sitting (unweighted) and standing (weighted). This tells us how much your feet elongate and if your are an over-pronator. Over-pronation in a ski boot is a bad thing. 3. Get a footbed. Even skiers with perfect feet will get improved performance and comfort with a footbed. If your feet are less than perfect, like the majority of the population, you will reap even larger improvements in comfort and performance. The soles of our feet are not a flat surface, and the sole of a ski boot is a very flat surface. A good footbed allows the two to interface, while maximizing comfort, balance and power. 4. Get Shell Fit. Remove the liner from the boot shell, then put your foot into the shell so that your toes barely touch the end of the boot. Anywhere from 1 to 3 cm behind your heel is a good guide. Generally, the more time you spend in ski boots the less space behind the heel. This is where the guidance of a good boot fitter, like us, is very helpful. 5. Try on several different boots. Even if the first one feels great, try on a few more. The first one may be the one for you, but at least you will have something to compare against. 6. Take your time. A proper boot fitting can take a while, particularly if you are getting custom work done. This is time well spent. 7. Buy your boots at Grizzly Outfitters Ski and Backcountry Sports. We will guide you through this process and guarantee the final fit of your ski boots. We will measure your feet, determine which footbed is right for you, and match your foot to the right ski boot. We will also take the time to customize your boots to your feet. This can include custom footbeds, custom ski boot liners, boot stretching and grinding. |
