https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/list/15.page Latest messages posted in the topic "Great boot fitting service" I had an exciting morning out yesterday. The day arrived - the day to buy new ski boots :thumbup: <br /> <br /> I went to see Graham Pugh at Rivington Alpine near Bolton. He has done some re-fitting work for me in the past and also sold a pair to my OH last year - it made sense to go back. <br /> <br /> The problems I have is that I have had tendonitis in the past and also plantar facisiatis - very painful and the former can affect the fitting of a ski boot. I also have a hammer big toe that sticks up and the top of my foot is very high. I also only have size 7.5 feet that are very narrow. Consequently all of that means the standard recreational ski boots are no good - even the narrow ones are too wide :cry: <br /> <br /> After 3 hours of trying on numerous pairs stand up, sit down, flex, sit down, walk around the shop. Heat them up, cool them down...... <br /> <br /> I came away with a pair of Rossignol Radical 25.5 97mm <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.rossignol.com/GB/GB/radical-world-cup-si-130--2013--RB21010--product--.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.rossignol.com/GB/GB/radical-world-cup-si-130--2013--RB21010--product--.html</a> <br /> <br /> I took with me my insoles that Graham made for me last year and he re-used them. Many places would have said I needed a new set. <br /> <br /> A fun morning out. <br /> <br /> I am now sitting here in my ski boots bedding them in having been told that if need be I can go back - the plastic inner bottom of the Left boot may need grinding down if I am getting pressure points with the high part of my foot. <br /> <br /> All in all, if you want a great bootfitter, I can certainly recommend Graham Pugh and the guys for a fantastic service :D <br /> <br /> They also hire ski clothes, ski, boots, roof box - sorry for the advert ;) <br /> <br /> https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/15794/146360.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/15794/146360.page Sun, 4 Jan 2015 14:25:13 GMT Great news, Iceman. Always good to have boots that fit well. And also good to know about places that are good at fitting boots. I am from a family of flat wide feet (think hobbits, only shorter). Had to get the widest boots and have them jiggered about with to fit. https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/15794/146402.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/15794/146402.page Mon, 5 Jan 2015 21:54:34 GMT There again on Saturday morning hopefully for final fitting https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/15794/146403.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/15794/146403.page Mon, 5 Jan 2015 22:05:54 GMT
