Any ideas on the best place to get ski boots around Birmingham?

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

we are in Shrewsbury if you fancy a visit. We have 38 years of experience with myself having sold boots for the last 10 years. have a look at our website to see the boots we stock.

Wear The Fox Hat, thx, but it's for my sister who lives in Leeds and works a normal 9-5 job, has a husband, cat and horse to look after. Galavanting around the country for a boot fitter is a little more difficult for her.
I'm a lot more flexible and care-free so travelling to the ends (or middle) of the country for a boot fitting isn't a problem for me, and my boots fit fine anyway

tp023, I've found Ellis Brigham at the Tamworth Snowdome to be excellent and to take time and trouble over fitting your boots. They don't have a huge range, but will get stuff in from other branches if you need them.

Ellis Brigham at XScape Castleford. Julian (their head ski/skiboot man) has been good to me. They should have a decent level of stock in at the mo so you should get the boots which are right for you rather than what they've got left.
Everyone appears to say how good Lockwoods at Leamington Spa is so don't discount it.

I have to admit Julian at Ellis Brigham (XScape Castleford) was really helpful this weekend.
Three weeks ago I had a pair of Tecnica Diablo Flames fitted there, but I finally gave up trying to bed them in as they were agony (I have wide feet and they were crushing the outsides  ). I was wondering what they would say when I returned the boots, but Julian immediatley suggested I try on some other brands that were known to be of wider fitting. Eventually I went for the Atomic M90's which were much more comfortable and if fact £45 cheaper, which they happily refunded.
Overall top marks.

Hairy Boy, Shamone, I got my sister a £250 gift voucher to spend at EB. I'll make sure she books an appointment with Julian. Thanks.
