Okay, just back from having some new boots custom fitted at Profeet.....very happy with service. Came home with some Lange RX100 boots - can't wait to try them in anger in March! Might take a cheeky trip to the snow dome sooner.......

Thanks for all the comments guys. I chose Profeet as they fitted my Wife's boots a few years back, she has a ridiculously high instep and getting boots off was often accompanied by screeches of agony - she now has some Nordica boots which are amazing and pain free compared to anything she owned before.

I think I'll go for the fitted option on the basis that I ski about once per year and intend these boots to last a very long time, I do agree that I could probably walk into a pair a la the Ebays I have but I'm feeling extravagant. Not skiing 'til March but will update when I get something sorted, hopefully Feb'

Thanks again

Hi All,

After skiing for 4 years in a pair of Salomon boots I bought off Ebay for £74 I'm going to invest in a new pair and have them fitted properly.

My plan is to visit Profeet in Fulham and I was going to turn up (with a booking) and literally take advice on everything (i.e. I'll buy the boot they recommend).

Any thoughts/recommendations etc?

Turns out I no longer have to worry about the snow anyway.....big dump over the last few days so base at top increased to 140 and bottom 40. More snow this week and drops off whilst we're there, hopefully will have an odd moment of clear sky. Hopefully the big snow will stay away for the 5 days we have skiing but what will be will be. Happy days!

At the end of the day I can't change the weather so will make the best of what we get!

Hi - we're there from 18th-23rd Jan. Skiing 19th-23rd. Which part of the Alps does Megeve qualify as!?

Okay, sounds like a potential plan. Thanks again for your comments

Thanks - might be a plan. What's the approx driving time to Les Contamines in your experience?
