queen_sheba - if there are then I've not found them. Would it help if I told you that SMALLZOOKEEPER really isn't  but that NAKED could be - but only for (err, humm) **SPECIAL** bookings...? #
Besides, it's only an hour and a bit away. And they do beer... &

I would be very interested too as I go to Les Gets every year - my boots gave up the ghost last year. I know Berthet and Splery sports fairly well as I always hire the kids stuff from there, however I have no idea if they have any specialist boot fitters of any merit.
Anyone else have any pointers..!?

Only shop I've used is Michaud Sports in Les Gets, but that's mainly the rental shop and workshop round the side, rather than the main shop. Never had boots fitted there though, so can't comment, but Jaques + son have always been helpful.

MrQ bought his boots from StarSki in Morzine, just near the ESF, a few years ago. He rates them highly.

Good point. I'd forgotten about Starski - probably the best of the Morzine bunch.

hmmm.....i hired from them last year. had major problems with my boots. i ended up with a 50 year old pair of blokes boots. wasn't happy.
plus i'm staying in les gets so might go with them as mucking about backwards and forwards to morzine won't be fun.
any other tips though. sorely tempted to visit smz but again same problem if they require adjustment!
cheers

Berthet Sports in Les Gets - they have high quality service and gear, again as Tatty, said above, not sure about specialist boot fitter in the village but would go straight there if were me.
Also, if you needed to go to Morzine, its only a few minutes bus ride.........

You know it makes sense.

I live in Les Gets and have bought my boots at Alpine Sports Warehouse Morzine, had them fully customised there great. Keith is the guy you want to contact he spends time with you to get the correct fit and will tweek them after a days skiing.
