LamafamaEllis Brigham have been very hit and miss based on my exp of their stores and boot fittings in various ones. Some are excellent, some have no idea at all and just re regurgitate the marketing spiel. To be honest its put me off ever using a big brand store again as unless you know of have feedback of a specific fitter (such as Tom) then its really a lot of money to risk.
Because of this I now use stores where I know whos going to do it. Shona and Ali at Blues in Edinburgh do a bloody good job, Theres Colin Martin as the others have said and Alain Baxter Sports in Stirling. I'm off to see Alain to have my liners done next week.
tomPietrowskiBaxter the ex racer? That is cool.
An an yeah I totally get what you mean about the bigger stores and shows perfectly that infact looking for a good fitter is te most important.
Speaking to to people at brighams no one is at cas from when I wa there so unfortunatly it seems things may be slipping but I know for sure tere are still a few good guys working you just have to hunt them out.

Alistair.(Sorry for double post) I'm currently in Glasgow and in need of a new pair of boots as mine are way too soft for me and are a bit done in in general.
