 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys,
Are there any shops that come highly recommended in Val for buying boots?
Hoping for a proper shop with proper fitters, much like the Boot Lab in Meribel/Courchevel.
Had a pretty horrible experience buying boots with a UK shop in the past. They fitted dreamily in the shop but within an hour of skiing my feet were in agony! Not much you can do when your out there for a season as well 
Cheers

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

@DavThomas, to be fair mate there are good and bad shops in the UK. Maybe you should try a good one
Also are you aware that it's perfectly plausible that your badly fitting boots could be made to fit well, rather than shelling out on new ones?

I've got no gripe with the shop in the uk. It was Edge and Wax in Sussex, like I said they fitted great in the shop but unfortunately there aren't too many mountains in Sussex to test them out on and the acid test with boots comes from when you ski in them. I had them adjusted in the boot lab in Meribel which gave me nearly two seasons use out of them but it's time for a new pair!

Surefoot. On the main street. If you have any problems they have a branch in London as well. I bought my boots in London and had them tweaked in Val. Great service and knowledge. http://www.surefoot.com/val_dlsere.php
