I need the best bootfitter in the area as the pain in my feet due to poor arches has become so severe that its actually affecting my skiing and making life very enjoyable. I tried to use my shoe orthotics while out in Whistler, but by the third day my arches were so sore the pain was unbearable.

I need a boot fitter that can do very custom insoles as I have basically no arch at all on either foot.

Store in Hamilton called McMaster Sports right across from the uni is decent, but it really depends on who does your boot work. Ask if Justin can do it, he's kickass.

Really? When did Justin leave? I was in there early December to mount my skis and he was working. Do you work tech shop? (I guess not if you're telling him to bring his boots in)

are you guys here at mac?


p.s. I recommend corbett's. It is the biggest ski store in the world. I would think most of their guys are good, but one of them outfitted the olympic team or something.
