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.
