Poster: A snowHead
|
Dear experts,
I was going through this forum and got the impression that more/less it is the UK forum
Knowing that Brussels is not very far from the UK, I thought of asking you about any ski boot fitters in Brussels, or even Belgium. In few weeks I am going to ski-trip to Italy, so I could try finding one there. The only problem - I won't have too much time there and I would really prefer spending time on the slopes. I would greatly appreciate if you could share your wisdom and help me finding a boot fitter here in Brussels (or Belgium).
Thank you very much in advance.

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

There's a place on Rue D'Ixelles I've heard good things about, failing that head up to landgraaf and ONLY get seen by the belgian guy who works there - he's got the experience. Bear in mind I found the boots I wanted in there 2 weeks ago and he wanted 270, I drove 2km down the road to Decathlon and picked them up for 200... Good luck.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

irss, I do live in Brussels but sadly I don't know any of the bootfitters here. I'll ask a colleague though, he's Belgian and very much into skiing.
I bought my last pair of boots in Chamonix...

Avventura on Chaussée de Louvain have a decent reputation. Personally i've had some foot issues and on asking my podiatrist about fitters here i was advised to see a specialist fitter in resort. However if you've got fairly standard feet then it's probably not an issue.

Thank you all for the replies, advices !
Unfortunately, I was not able to find the shop which would provide good advice in Brussels. So I went further and found a cozy place just outside Brussels. Staff seemed to have a good idea what they are selling, they were really friendly and helpful. Consequently, I have my new boots - Nordica Speedmachine 12. I thought they fit really well...Don't know if I'll a better skier now, but I really hope so
