 Poster: A snowHead

Hi
Looking for current recommendations as above.
Have used profeet successfully in the past, but a long time ago.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

There are many, quite recent threads on this topic, suggest you search.
Profeet still come highly recommended. Ski Exchange Cambridge might be closer for you.

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

Can recommend Ski Bartlett. £50 fitting fee IIRC with unlimited further adjustments for a year if required. You need to book.
Lots of measurements / questions, took their time and got me into a size smaller boot but high volume shape. Heel risers to deal with my lack of flex, footbeds and a minor shell stretch in the right toe box. Been on two trips and they're spot on. I don't think I have particularly 'problem' feet though.

Got mine fitted by Skee-tex in Battlesbridge, near Wickford. Did a very good job.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Also widely recommended, but the wrong side of London for the OP.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Also true. (Reference, for OP's benefit, to the estimable Solutions4Feet.)

Fluid Lines in Colchester offers boot fitting; no first hand experience of this service but I’ve bought plenty of stuff from the shop.
Another recommendation for Ski Exchange in Dry Drayton near Cambridge, who I have used for boot fitting and retro-fitting, if this isn’t too far afield.

Dave and co at FluidLines, Peartree Centre Stanway, Colchester. Really professional service from very knowledgeable staff. My boots have been great and we have sent many friends along to them ever since - all have had a positive experience.

+1 from me on the recommendation re: Ski Bartlett. Quality place. Had some boots fitted there recently, great experience. Not skied much on the new boots yet (a bit at Snow Centre Hemel) but so far so good.

I would also recommend SkeeTex in Battlesbridge.

Another thumbs up for Skee tex from me

You know it makes sense.

I found with Profeet that if you're east and outside zones 1/2 is that it's quite a hassle getting back in for adjustments and having to lug your boots across central London. Unless you're that side of London then I'd probably opt for something more convenient.

In Essex and going East they are a top recommendation, Family run and all instructors who know their stuff
