Boot fitters

Find a boot fitter

A boot that fits beats a boot that scores well on paper. Comparing one boot against another tells you which shell is stiffer. It can’t tell you whether that shell suits your foot, and a fitter can. Good ones read your foot, your ankle and how you stand, then work the shell, liner or footbed until the pressure points and the heel lift go.

Bring the boots you ski in, the socks you ski in, and a note of where it hurts or where you lose heel hold. The Edge Lab report is that note done properly: what you feel, the likely causes ranked from the physics, and your setup, in a form a fitter can read in a minute. It is not medical advice. For pain or injury, see a physio.
