Im in Salt Lake City and I'm in need of new boots for this coming season.
Ive owned a pair of full tilts for the past 3 or 4 years and they always felt to big to me. I bought boots online based of my shoe size like an idiot.
Now that I'm a responsible adult, its time I spend some money on a great pair of well fit boots.
Anybody have any good suggestions for shops with a good boot selection/ good boot fitters??
Im 6'1" but my feet are small (size 9.5-10) and I've got normal sized calves. Any suggestions on boots that would fit well for me? I felt like I could never got my foot tight enough in my full tilts but on the most open setting for the power strap I felt like my calf was getting strangled.
Thanks guys!!

I wouldn’t think anyone will have much of a selection this time of year.
Brent at Park City Ski Boot has taken care of me Curtis at Sports Den in Salt Lake has helped with boots for mrsjmills

If you’re trying to save, check out Level 9 on the west side.

Inkline, The sports loft, and superfeet in PC would be my top choices. Sports Den has some pretty good dudes as well!

Inkline is pretty solid, the crew over at Sports Den are awesome as well, Deep Powder House, the Lift House right at the mouth of the canyons right there, and if youre in PC, definitely check out PC Ski Boot.


also threads for myself for any other suggestions. I recently suffered a pretty severe foot injury and will be needing to get some pimped-out boots this year

Sports Loft, they have helped out many friends and family there and all have had good recommendations.

i tried quoting the last 3 posts but i dont think it worked. Inkline was lit while it lasted. Chris was a total g and hooked me up as a broke highschool kid. this has been like 4 years ago

this past season inkline has been up and down and seems like theyve gone under. i tried sending an email but never got any response.

with that being said, (2018-19 season) i tried the sport loft and they seemed to do a good job, but seemed to charge a high amount. i get that boots and footbeds are expensive, but theyre pricing is just high. my boots snapped in half after a couple weeks of use. it took forever but the Jeremy got me hooked up to ski again.

this thread is also for me when i have to get new boots. may be trying a cheaper alternative to the sport loft.... if not... then ill just pay them another visit. pretty satisfied with sport loft

UPDATE:
Just went into Sports Den today to check out boots, AWESOME fitter there (can't remember his name, kind of an older guy tho) that helped me get into a couple of different options. The dude asked the right questions, measured my feet, let me try on some different options, and ultimately helped me figure out what I need for a good fitting boot. No bs.
Ill be waiting until september to buy boots because sports den gets all their new product in then. Im very excited for this season, seeing how I've been in way too big full tilts for the last 4 years that have been nothing but trouble for me. LETS GOOOO!
thanks dudes
