Custom Boot Fitting

THE BEST SKIERS IN THE WORLD TRUST THEIR FEET TO US

Our Vail Village location sits at the top of Bridge Street, between the Bridge Street Fountain and Gondola One. You walk in, get fitted, walk out, and load onto the lift. No ski boot shop in Vail is closer to the mountain.

We've been fitting boots in Vail since 1987. In that time we've fit everyone from first-day beginners to FIS World Cup racers to 70-year-old guests who thought their skiing days were over until we got them into the right boot. Vail attracts the most demanding skiers on the planet. We take that seriously.

Your fitting starts with a 538-point foot scan. Your fitter recommends custom orthotics and foam-injected liners based on your feet and skiing. These are fitting options; your fitter will explain what each adds. A one-person custom boot fitting takes a little over an hour.

WHAT TO EXPECT

01
Orthotic Scan
A 3D imager and pressure-sensitive digitizer scan your feet at 538 points, giving your fitter a detailed picture of your foot shape.
02
Assessment
Your fitter evaluates your skiing history, ability, build, and goals. Combined with your scan data, they select the optimal boot from over 100 models across every major brand.
03
Fabrication
If you choose custom orthotics, a three-axis CAD/CAM mill shapes EVA blanks from your foot scan. Each orthotic is finished and hand-trimmed in the store while you try on shells.
04
Custom Liner
If you choose custom liners, memory foam is injected while you stand in the boots. It solidifies around your feet in about five minutes.
05
Hit the Mountain
Walk out, load Gondola One, ski. No break-in period. Adjustments are free for the lifetime of your boots. This guarantee does not cover the natural breakdown of materials over extended time and use.
