Full tilt boots

Go to a boot fitter and try and have them adjust your boots to fit you the best they can. If not it may not be the right boot for your shape foot and style of skiing

Ideally, you see a boot fitter when you buy new boots and get ones that fit your feet the best instead of just buying full tilts

Agreed. But I’ve made this argument for others on here before. In many markets there isn’t a *good* bootfitter within 50 miles. And even when there is right now, I’ve heard and experienced many fitters with crazy low inventory. So it ends up not working out even when you make your way to a reputable fitter in a sparse market. OP if you can, get to one. If not it’s the Wild West sadly. May need a different boot

I have to drive way more than 50 miles to get to a legit boot fitter. Hockey skate companies have ways to measure your foot digitally removing this middle man and I feel like if I could scan my foot and get a list of ski boots that are compatible, I would pay dearly for that service so I’m not taking a damn vacation to get fitted.

I feel ya man. It’s tough and after covid the small to almost nonexistent markets got even harder to find inventory. Best of luck!

True, summer is worst time to find the best boot for you. And also true that a good fitter might not have anything for you after making the drive all the way there. But, that's why you call ahead, speak with a fitter over the phone, describe your foot, describe your problem as best you can and the fitter can tell you what 3 or 4 options might work for you and if he has them, he can set them aside until your appointment. And that last word is absolutely crucial - get an appointment before you drive there. You'd never show up to the dentist or car mechanic unannounced and expect them to drop what they are doing and make time for you, so don't do it here either.

Worst case: the boot-fitter assess your foot and tells you which boots should work well for you and/or what will not work for you. You can at the very least leave with a better understanding of your foot and what you should look for.

Best case: the fitter can fix your problem or get you into the right boot with a super discount.

But, you won't know until you call them and ask to speak with one of the boot-fitters.
