Nope.
Strike number one for Evo boot fitting came when I was buying boots many years ago and I found some Nordica speed machines that I tried on in a size 23 and that had a good fit but were a size too big. They told me that there was no problem, they'd order the 22 and everything would be golden. Long story short after riding the "22" for several days I come to find out that the 22 was not in fact a 22 but the same BSL as the 23 that I had already tried on and decided was too big just with a fluffier liner that would of course pack out in a dozen days. They made it right by store crediting my boot. But I still had to spend a season in ill fitting boots because they failed to tell me that the 22 was not a "true" 22, something they should have known, and been up front about to begin with.
If Evo does have a boot punch machine now, then they must have bought it this year, because as recently as a year and a half ago they did not. I had a lot of boot work done (multiple grindings) and after the third time I was told explicitly that they couldn't grind the boot anymore and that they do NOT have the equipment to stretching/punches.
Fast forward to last year when I started going to Sturtevents, I wanted to see if I could possibly get more grinding done, despite Evo saying the boot couldn't be ground anymore. First thing the boot fitters at Sturtevents say is "Who did your previous boot work? It looks like someone took a dremel to this, they didn't smooth out your plastic, also they cracked your boot board (the hard plastic piece that sits at the bottom of your boot). Sure enough I see the cracked boot board and I feel the rough sharp pieces of plastic sticking out where they ground the boot, no wonder my pinky toe was in pain with those sharp pieces protruding. They then go on to literally take me into the shop and explain the equipment they use to do boot work, and then worked on my boot while I watched. Turns out it could indeed be ground some more, as well as stretched. They feathered the grind so that the plastic inside the boots stayed smooth. They walked me through the whole process while I watched, and I was out of there within an hour.
Compare that to Evo where despite being a loyal customer for many years, most of the staff knows me by name. I would always have to drop my boots off and return for them a couple days later for boot work (very annoying to do in the middle of the season).
Evo tries their best, and for their niche they do a good job, but for bootwork Sturtevents wins, hands down.
