 Poster: A snowHead
|
A colleague is going to Morzine very soon and is in need of good boots. Can anyone recommend a shop/bootfitter in Morzine where he'll get a professional and knowledgeable service?
(I don't think he'll be persuaded to make a trip to Cham.)

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Not far from Morzine to Cham, maybe 30 to 45 minute drive.

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

conor - I'd love to be able to make a suggestion, but...
...nearly everyone I know goes to Cham.

Thanks anyway. Will mention Cham to him (is it 'Footworks' where SZK works?)

conor, If you can't get to SZK then try Rene Collett up at Avoriaz (ask but its next to the bowling), he sorted me out with an existing footbed problem, he is a little eccentric (I think this is possibly essential for bootfitters) and sometimes grumpy (ditto) but he was the only experienced boot fitter I found in many months I spent in the area last year. He even adapted some boots for one of the mountain guides who only has half a foot (still guiding), the guide actually came in for a boot tweak whilst I was there and was Rene's biggest fan

A thriving community with the river Dranse running through it methinks...

Thank you again. I recently got new boots in Tignes and I can highly recommend the bootfitter, a chap called Michelle (sic?) who owns Sportski in Val Claret. He was very patient and informative and definitely seemed to know feet and how boots can be manipulated to fit the individual. Thought I'd put a word in for him FWIW.
Anyway, I'll pass Rene Collett on to my colleague and then I guess I've done my bit. Just don't want him to have the Slush and Rubble treatment that I got with my first boots. It would appear that after numerous stretches and a visit to Profeet, that they were too small for me in the first place and could not be stretched further. Wouldn't wish my bunnionettes on anyone (except maybe the guy who sold me my first boots  )
Frosty, what is Rene Collett's shop called?
