 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I just thought its good to spread the word when you get great service.
I went to see Graham at Rivington Alpine in Adlington, between Bolton and Chorley.
I would not go anywhere else to have my boots fitted now, especially after a nasty ankle
injury last year, Graham was my first stop to have my boots played with and new
Superfeet Custom Black Pro footbeds made on the New Vaccum footbed machine.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was there on Monday.
Nice guys and very knowledgeable if your Ooop North they're a solid option for proper boot fitting service.
Got to book a session at the Chillfactore to bed them in now.

I went on Thursday evening for a boot fit and the customer service and level of knowledge was admirable to say the least. Graham spent ages ensuring the boots were right and that I no longer had problems with circulation in my toes (that I always get in ski boots). So refreshing to come away from somewhere as customer where you're made to feel really important 
Highly recommended

+3 great lads, Graham is a great boot fitter, really relaxed environment too. Love the wall piste map on ground floor and the German Shepherds too.

Guys - have you bought the boots here or just had them fitted? Just wondering if they have a decent selection - think I need to treat myself

@Johnor, just had mine fitted, custom insole brilliant. They have a fairly limited selection of boots but can get them in I believe.

thanks Markymark - so did you buy new boots and get them fitted there or were old boots which you decided required insoles?
thanks john

Existing boots that needed adjustment, canting and cuff adjustment, plus a new custom insole, my wife had same too. Great service! Don't expect a quick turnaround, it's a long job but a very sociable experience

I got my new boots from there recently - I enjoyed the boot fitting experience & they were very nice! Have been wearing the new boots in for a couple of weeks now and a couple of trips to the Fridge for a ski - they are so so painful and uncomfortable, I can barely grimace through 30 mins at a time in them. I hope that by going back for a re-fitting will make them miles better, else I will be back to wearing my old boots on my up-coming ski holiday for fear of my big toe going black!

They will be fine after a refitting. This is to be expected if you want a custom fit rather than a out of the box comfy but ( too big) fit.
A few tweaks and grinds here and there will sort you out.
The liner will pack out a full 1/2 size with use so it is better to be able to adjust any pinch points or circulation issues after you've done a few laps of the chill factore.
I will be doing the same thing with mine.
I remember thinking my last pair of boots were way too tight. I kept them for 6 years so they must have packed out Ok in the end.
This time I've gone down a full size so fingers crossed.
The main thing is the guys at RA know what there talking about. They will look after you both now and in the future,whatever it takes to get them right. It's all part of the service.
