Ordered stuff from them a few times and recently had a conversation with them over ski recommendations - always seem helpful and informative but can't comment on their bootfitting skills I'm afraid.

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

Bought my first boots from them last year.
They seemed very thorough to me, ensuring I got the best fit and manipilating the boot for fine tuning. I was there for upwards of 2 hours.
Result seems good and I would recommend although I have no basis of comparison.

same as skidiva for me... not bought boots from them but have ordered various stuff and they've always been very helpful and happy to to talk on the phone.
if they were my local ski shop, i'd use them.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

They are my local ski shop and I do use them
Bought my boots and custom foot beds 18 months ago - very thorough job - process took over two hours - haven't needed to go back for adjustment or re-fitting
PLUS
I won a pair of skis at their pre-season open day so they are high on my recommendation list !

I've had them mount bindings, bought skis from them and they did a great job on my brother-in-law's and nephew's boots last week. Highly recommended and good to support an independent.

and bizarrely their advert has just popped up alongside this post, so they support Snowheads as well!

Steve Sparks, The ad's been there a while I think. I've certainly clicked on it a few times. Nice site.

Ordered some replacement Hestra Glove liners recently. Very pleased with the liners. Less pleased that I ordered a pair of Cat Tracks and they sent a box containing one for £14. I'm waiting for the other one, they are out of stock

Sorry about that, quite strange that as they were right out of the delivery box, we just got the delivery so will make sure we get the other foot out to you today. If anyone knows anyone who has lost a single cat track at least we have a spare for them now

We have the 174 and 181 in stock, 188cm sold out, just gave K2 a call and sold out until next season I am afraid!
