Good boot fitter in Calgary-Banff area

[anndeepea]

Hi Divas,

I’m just new to the forum, and so thankful for all the helpful posts and comments I’ve already read!

I’m hoping someone in Alberta has advice about boot fitters, because I have several foot/ankle/calf issues that make a good fit incredibly difficult, and I’m desperately in need. I bought boots last season from a local legend and had them adjusted 3-4 times, but many problems remain. He has since retired, and frankly, I found him rather dismissive, so I won’t miss him.

Who in Calgary (or Canmore or Banff) understands women’s physiology and will work patiently to create the right fit? I’m trying hard to become a better skier, but I know that boot-related numbness, pain, extreme heel lift, etc. are really limiting my progress!

Thanks for your advice!

I had a friend that worked at Monod's. (he's come back to Ontario) They do good work. Pulse is another that I've seen recommended. I'll see if I can get some names.

Pulse have a store in Banff - I've been to the Revelstoke store a few times and they're generally good. They were good when they sold me some custom liners that I had to give up on - refunded me the full cost of the liners, helped get the stock liners padded out to minimise the issues I was having, and then gave me a discount when I got my next pair of boots.

Not sure if they still do this but my husband and I have gone back for tweaks and changes to boots years after buying them and there was no additional charge (the initial cost isn't cheap though). So possibly worth a look - hopefully the Banff store is also good.
