 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi guys, going for my 3rd season of skiing now and think its time to buy my own boots after having ill fitting boots hired for the last couple of years. Can anyone recommend a good bootfitter in the north east of england or can travel as far as leeds.
thanks!

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

mmdpkaaa, Glide and Slide in Otley always seem to have people hearabouts recommending them, a colleague at work got some boots from him and was delighted with the fitting service.
Edited once for getting G & S wrong way round!

Somebody did recommend a lad in Ellis Brigham in Castleford as well but I cannot remember his name.

I've also had good service from EB at Castleford - lad called Tom - who said that their head bootfitter had been doing lots of training with them all

mmdpkaaa, Igot my boots [a few years back now] in Nevisport in Middlesbrough - had a patient chap who helped me try on pairs till I was happy. Not a super specialist shop perhaps, but I have been very pleased with mine. Go on a quiet day where ever you go. Happy hunting.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

its a tough choice! from what ive researched though the guy in bicester seems the best but is too far away, followed by rivingtonalpine - this is based purely on recommendations btw!

julian has now gone to study podiatry, so i beleive he is only in on weekends (and probably not all of them)

You know it makes sense.

Another vote for Glide and Slide in Otley - they'll even make you a decent espresso while you get fitted
