 Poster: A snowHead
|
Baby has a new pair of boots  Smaller, tighter and which fit like a second skin thanks to the boys at Sole in Chamonix whom, I might add, worked very hard to fit them for me (I'm extremely hypermobile to the point where a few millimetres either way can cause burning and numbness).
After an hilarious day (filled with more than a few comedy tumbles and crossed skis) to get used to the responsiveness that the really snug fit affords, the improvement in my skiing was quite astonishing.
So, huge thumbs up for Steve and Seb, these guys are legends. I would have rushed back to the shop to kiss them both in sheer joy - but that would have been innapropriate!
Right, now to get my bindings remounted to accommodate the much smaller boots...

Zero-G, I love a bootfitting story with a happy ending.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

RPF, indeed, especially with a 'challenging' customer such as myself - let's just say that one of the boys dropped to the floor with exhaustion/relief at the end of the fitting

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It might start a trend... then they would expect it from all of their customers, including those burly Swedes who seem to frequent their shop. Actually, that would be rather amusing

Great to hear it worked out. Have to say i've seen a fair few Hyper-mobile Customers, but few of late. Your feet were by far the most mobile i've come across. As you say, this can be almost impossible to get right, so really pleased we got there so quickly with a precise fitting, smaller boot. (we we're quite concerned that we wouldn't!!)
We do kisses but prefer a 24 pack of Heineken in such circumstances, there are few women in Chamonix and the results from kisses of appreciation have often become inappropriate for any public place.

Well poo, I returned to London yesterday (a fact which I am politely attempting to ignore) but will duly deliver an appreciative 24-pack of Heineken when next in Chamonix. And a new fish if the semi-floater doesn't make it.

Fish is now in the river.

In the river!? Missed opportunity mate, you could have had (very small) fish and chips.
