 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone, first post in this forum and hoping somebody could point me in the right direction 
I am heading over to Manchester from NI next week and hope to get ski boots fitted while I'm there. I know there is Ellis Brigham and a couple of other places which offer a boot fitting service. Just wondering if they are any good or if there are other places that would be recommended for fitting?
Thanks

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

sparky160, if you do go to Ellis Brigham in M'cr there is guy there called Dave Casey who was recommended to me once by an in resort fitter, I got sorted and so never went. Apparently he's been there a good while and knows his stuff.

Thanks very much. Read about Rivington Alpine but unfortunately I don't think I'll have time to travel out to there and back to Manchester on time for my flight which sucks  . Thanks for the recommendation sarah, do you know which of the Ellis Brigham stores he works in? (I think there's 2?). Anywhere else in Manchester that would be recommended?
Thanks

Thanks, At least it's something to go on. I'm sure there's bound to be somebody on this forums who has had him fit them for boots lol

sparky160, how are you getting between the airport and the city centre? If you;re using the train, it may be as easy to carry on through to Rivington as it is to get off in Manchester and find the ellis brigham store
Having said that, we bought Mrs NBT's last pair of boots from EB in Castlefield (nearest station is Deansgate) and the fitter there seemed to be ok, she's been using them for several seasons now without issue, so I'm not saying anything bad about EB - don't know who fitted Mrs NBT's boots though

Cheers for all the help. Just home from Manchester and got fitted by Dave in Ellis Brigham Castlefield store. Absolutely cracking job on fitting the boots and nothing was a problem when it came to getting and making the boot as good a fit as possible. Spent 4 hours I'm sure fitting / moulding footbeds etc. Super happy.
