Boot fitting,again,sorry

Hi all,first post so be gentle.
I've been skiing for quite some time now(average intermediate)but have never owned my own boots.
I suffer from painful feet as quite a few others on this forum seem to.I have always done my boots up as tight as possible,as i was taught years ago,i now realise this was a mistake after reading posts on here.
I live in Nottingham and would like to buy my own boots,could anyone recommend a good shop within a 25 mile radius to visit?
Sorry for the lack of more info but im in a rush.
Cheer's,Nick. :D

Welcome to J2ski :D As you've been reading up on boot related posts, you will have seen that there are a few really trusted bootfitters about. I have heard this winter, of folks flying in to see the bootfitter I use. Plenty of boot sellers about though.
Hopefully someone will post details of a capable fitter matching your criteria.

More likely Easy-booting, maybe even Ryan-airbooting :D

I do know English folk that have taken weekends in Chamonix to combine a visit the Zoo* and a long weekend to bed in their boots, and get any adjustments done.
* I don't think that FootWorks is the same this winter, different setup and no Zookeepers )

Nick,

pretty much all the decent stores in the nottigham area have shut up shop (unless someone can come up with one I don't know about)

closest near by would be lockwoods in leamington, i am a bit further south in Bicester but we are fully booked until the 17th december (probably later by the end of monday)

never leave this to the last minute :shock:

Dave, flying in from inverness or edinburgh has been quite the rage this season, had one from cape town last year :D

Bandit, there are still ways to do the chamonix thing, but a trip to www.thebootroom.fr is where it is at..so place to mont blanc rather than cham sud to get the good guys )

Thanks for the linky cem :thumbup:
