We begin with an open discussion about your skiing history and preferences. Consider these questions before your fitting:

Where do you ski? Australia or overseas?
How frequently do you ski each year?
What type of terrain do you enjoy the most?
How do you wish to progress in your skiing?
Do you have any injuries or medical conditions affecting your feet?
Have you experienced discomfort in ski boots before?

Following our conversation, we conduct a biomechanical analysis, examining your ankle flexibility, arch height, and foot behavior. We then take precise measurements of your feet in various positions to inform our boot selection.

Using the insights from our analysis, our boot fitters select two or three boots for you to try. We start with a shell check to ensure proper sizing, focusing on the shell as it remains consistent while liners adapt over time. You’ll compare boots by wearing different ones on each foot, helping us gather your feedback and refine our selection. Typically, you’ll settle on the best-fitting pair after trying a few options.

Once we’ve selected the ideal boots for your biomechanics and skiing style, we fine-tune the fit with three key customizations:

Footbeds: Ski boots have flat interiors, unlike your feet. Custom or pre-made footbeds support your arches, enhancing comfort and precision. Our boot fitters will help you choose between pre-made footbeds from Sidas or custom footbeds made on-site for optimal support.

Liners: We heat and mold your boot liners to match the shape of your feet, ankles, and lower legs, ensuring a snug, personalized fit.

Shell Adjustments: If needed, we modify the boot shell to accommodate bunions, bone growths, or other unique foot shapes. These permanent adjustments may require additional appointments and time in our workshop to perfect.

Please allocate at least 2 hours for this thorough fitting process. Note that this service requires a commitment to purchase ski boots unless no suitable option is found.
