 Poster: A snowHead
|
Time for new boots as the ten-year old pair are officially done. Here in beautiful Les Gets at the moment so looking for a recommend for a great fitter nearby with plenty of stock.
Yes I know I can go to Chamonix, but don’t want to have to schlep back there for any initial niggles.
Any advice appreciated! Have a great day.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Have been recommended Caribou Sports in Morzine, and Vermont Sports in Les Gets.
In case it’s of use to anyone.

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

I believe they have closed but the fitter that used to work at Beanies is well worth trying to track down. Tomas was his name, sadly don't know surname. A very very good boot fitter...

@skimottaret,
They haven't closed but are now All Mountain Rentals. Tomas is still there and fitting boots. If I was having boots fitted, that's where I would go.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Locals seem to overwhelmingly recommend Bernard at Star Ski Sports.

Definitely Tomas aka The Foot Doctor. He put me in narrow fitting boots whereas I always thought I had reasonably wide feet. I left saying I'll be back tomorrow complaining about the fit - lo and behold , they were perfect.

@5RED, probably worth noting that @skimottaret is a ski instructor (and thus in his boots quite a lot ) and @zzz is a resident who skis rather a lot (and thus, etc. ...) I have no idea of the provenance of other recs. I have, myself, bought boots in Star Ski (around 1992) - and Michel Gravier (if he's not retired yet) is a lovely chap - but I'd go with Tomas.
