Really awesome dudes, helped me fix my boot

Set the scene. I’m returning for yet another ski holiday and thanks to a slight pronation my rental boots are not fun. After a quick chat with my friend (AI), I stumbled upon Steve inside his garage. It’s mid afternoon late in the season, the sun is shining in and Steve’s treating himself for his first beer of the season. I take a pew alongside a brain surgeon and a young French-speaking lassie. Socks off, the show begins.

In all seriousness (and all of the above was factually correct as I saw it), Steve provided some invaluable insights and although, since it was late in the season he didn’t have the right boot for me, he did make custom insoles which I used in my rental boots for the rest of the holiday and they made a significant difference. Thank you!!

It’s not your typical ski boot fitting shop, but all the better for it.

(Translated by Google) I thank Steve for his availability, efficiency, advice, and the work he did. He's probably changed my perspective on ski boots forever. Besides the professionalism that permeates the workshop, he's a great guy. I'll be back... and I also recommend that anyone like me who didn't give much importance to the boot-buying process should think again and take the time to be guided in their choice. Seeing is believing.

Ringrazio Steve per la disponibilità, l’efficacia, i consigli ricevuti ed il lavoro svolto. É probabilmente cambiato definitivamente il mio modo di percepire lo scarpone da sci. Oltre alla professionalita che respira nel laboratorio , c’è una bella persona. Tornerò .. e consiglio anche a chi come me non dava molta importanza al processo di acquisto di uno scarpone di ricredersi e prendersi il tempo per essere Guidati nella scelta. Provare per credere

Outstanding professionalism, customer care, and genuine friendliness!

I should mention that I don’t have standard feet and that I am a very passionate skier. For years I skied in size 28 boots because they were the only ones that could accommodate my prominent ankle bone and wide forefoot.

In December, I decided to buy a new pair of ski boots and, almost by chance, I came across Sole Boot Lab. I was welcomed by Steeve, who explained that this is not just a regular shop, but a specialized bootfitting center. Here, you don’t simply choose a pair of boots yourself: you book an appointment and, after a thorough assessment, the professional recommends the most suitable model for your feet.

At first, I was skeptical because I had never heard of bootfitting before, but I decided to book an appointment and returned a few days later.

After several fitting sessions and custom-made insoles, I purchased the boots. I was advised to go with a 26.5, which was considered the ideal size for my feet. During the first few ski days, I experienced some discomfort, but every time, at the end of the day, I stopped by the shop and they were always extremely helpful, making the necessary adjustments to both the shell and the liner.

Now I can honestly say we have reached near perfection. I ski from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. feeling light and comfortable, with a completely different sensation compared to before. I have greater control, more precision, and above all, increased confidence.

Sebastian, you’re a genius! You did an outstanding job and, with my particular feet, I believe very few people would have achieved such a result. I highly recommend them, even if you’re not in Chamonix. I travel from Courmayeur, and now I trust only them!

(Translated by Google) If you can't find the right shoes, come here! The manager is super friendly; he made me a slipper that perfectly fits the shape of my foot. I no longer have any pain, and I've finally found the perfect shoes. I highly recommend it!
