BestFit Boots in Truckee...I have a rec on them lower in the thread. I've also got ballet dancer feet! You really need to make an appointment and be ready to spend the day: the fitters don't rush and are meticulous.

Unfortunately it looks like Claude @ Ski Net Sports is no longer in business. Google notes they are permanently closed.

True. Claude has retired although Gary kept the phone number and tunes skis out of his garage.
Got to ski with Claude at Mammoth in May, a good man.

For Northshore Tahoe for the past few years with downhill boots, I use Start Haus in Truckee and Phil Pugliese in Reno
For touring boots, I go to John at Tahoe Sports Hub in Truckee.
Best to do it in October, or as early in the season as possible.

@Rainbow Jenny Anyone in Mammoth I should check out? I'll be up that way soon.

@SparkleBunny for Mammoth I highly suggest Footloose as they have the best selection and you are able to demo boots before you buy. Demo boots are set up usually with a green superfeet off the shelf foot bed. They also make great custom footbeds. Kevin is my go-to, but he is only in Sun-Wed?
However, if anyone needs a "true" plug race boot you will not find it in Mammoth- unfortunately both Footloose and Kittridge are no longer stocking plug boots. They can be ordered but are not usually stocked other than a few "Jr" boot models. For plug boots or for someone who has more complex boot fitting needs or advanced boot work Start Haus is also my suggestion go straight to the top and ask for Jim.

@WaterGirl Thank you, I will checkout Footloose and demo a boot or 2 when I am there.

Any update on Utah/SLC boot fitters. I have complicate feet - wide feet with bunions, narrow heel, super flexible ankles, bigger calves.
I saw Mandy last season and she tweaked my current boots a bit to relive a hot spot so maybe I return to her. Her suggestion was that my boots are too beginner for me and to take my skiing to the next level I’ll need to probably change.
but before I pay for a full boot fitting I wanted to know if that’s the next place to go.
thanks!!

Has anyone tried Switchback Sports in Steamboat? It seems that One Stop Ski Shop is now Switchback.
Alternatively any feedback on Le Feet Lab in Winter Park?
Trying to find a recommended bootfitter in one of the towns I know I'll visit this season. Otherwise I'll drive to Outdoor Divas in Vail.

LeFeet Lab in WP is top notch.
As for Steamboat, I am familar with One Stop Ski Shop but not familiar with their bootfitting expertice. They have both old and new equipment so its a little eclectic.
In Steamboat, I'd go to Steamboat Bike and Ski Kare. Harry is the owner, but his sons are starting to take over as he starts thinking about retirement.
Really good shop!

Years ago I met one of the bootfitters at Le Feet Lab. He turned me off because he insisted that Dalbello's were the only boots that would work for me. He based that on an issue I have with getting my boots on, not on fit. That said, I didn't visit the shop because of their limited selection of sizes in 22.5. Outdoor Divas had a shop in Denver so I stayed with them for my needs.Has anyone tried Switchback Sports in Steamboat? It seems that One Stop Ski Shop is now Switchback.

I suggest giving the shops a call and see which shop gives you the best vibes.

He was assigned to me through the evo Signature Fit service, which is $150 for 2 hours on top of your purchases, but the purchases get discounted through your package. In addition, you get the store to yourself as the appointment is an hour before it opens. They get you coffee or tea and you get to pick the type of playlist for the day, LOL. Any services like mounting or re-mounting etc are also put on "rush" for you.
My appointment was really only for 2 hours, but Andrew ended up spending 3.5 hours with me, really explaining everything and answering any questions I might have. He really got my input on everything and that guided my appointment. He even talked me through why we might need to remount my bindings and even introduced me to the service lead to get a second opinion.
And this is how I knew he was truly a good bootfitter - he asked me to drop in whenever I needed to and even if I wasn't there for my ski boots, even just to give him an update on how this fit was working out for me. A good fitter really wants to know how it's working for you because it's feedback that helps you improve and move forward!
