I’m going to be heading to the bootfitter in a couple of weeks. I’m certainly not new to this, but always a bit anxious because I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with boots in the past. Just search for one of my boot sagas here if you’d like an example of everything that can go wrong going wrong lol.
I’ll be getting a new pair of downhill boots which will be the main focus to my trip. I expect this to be a lengthy process as I definitely want to deal with the alignment issues I have and ignored with my last pair. Secondary will also be an assessment of my hybrid AT boots for an aftermarket liner. I should say that my current bootfitter has always fixed my boot issues that I got from other fitters but has never fit me into a pair to start. I’m super excited to work with him on this as he’s been the only fitter who has ever made my feet happy in problematic boots. He’s an awesome bootfitter and also a pedorthist which is what led me to him years ago.
I’m curious, what do you usually do before a fitting? Do you have models in mind you want to try, completely leave it to your fitter, something else? I’m an over thinker and also very excited to be getting new boots for the first time in around 6 years. So of course I’ve been obsessively reading whatever I can about some current boot models and how materials and technology have changed. Really though this is probably useless and maybe even detrimental as I think I’d rather not have any self created biases ahead of time.
What do you do or recommend doing ahead of a bootfitting?
