How to boot fit in a ski shop?

Ask customers about past injuries, issues, etc. History of foot problems, surgeries, etc. I focused on the heel and calf because I can always blow other parts of the boot out.
Just relax and learn to figure out what the customer wants. Some want to be really technical, some want to be told what to buy. Just remember - it’s just ski boots. I was so nervous at first, but it’s just ski boots. Most people are reasonable if you explain things to them (of course, there are always some bad eggs). Good luck and have fun!

Asking how to fit a ski boot on the internet is not going to get you far. Sure you can ask all of the right questions but the trick is how to react to the data you've been given.

The only real way to do it is to get the experience, study the biomechanics of the foot and understand the fit difference of each brand.

One of the most important thing to remember is that if you can't get the fit as close as possible after three different boots, the customer will likely lose confidence in you.

Yeah this is all very correct, I’ve been training under a Master boot fitter for the past 2 seasons. You can spout all the numbers out at people (which I used to do) but it’s all about seeing a foot, listening to the person and choosing a boot that fits the description. It definitely takes some getting used to. You need to know your inventory, know how different things fit, etc. One day when we were dead, I tried on every single boot we sold in order to feel how each one fit on my foot. It was fun and passed the time, but also was sort of a moment for me where I realized that the numbers (last, flex, size) are only a small part of it. It takes practice patience and experience, but you’ll get there!
