Replying to Norway/Europe Bootfitters
I've had several pairs of boots over the last 3 years, been to 1 "bootfitter", and have had 3 pairs of custom footbeds made, but I still have yet to find a boot that fits properly.
I do think that the majority of my problems stem from the fact that none of the footbeds that were made for me were actually done properly.
I'm based in Norway, and I could be wrong, but I don't believe there are any shops in Norway that are known for their exceptional bootfitting services. There's one shop called 'Vertical Playground' that is extremely popular, but I can't find any specific mention of what their bootfitting services entail. Their website specifies that they are offer bootfitting, but I haven't been able to find any other info besides that.
While I'd prefer to stay in Norway to keep costs down, I'm willing to travel to inside of Europe to find a good bootfitter this fall when stock is at its highest and I will have as many boot options and sizes available to me. I'm eyeballing a shop in Germany called Blacksheep Sports, which seems to have pretty good reviews.
Ideally I want a bootfitter that makes an excellent custom insole, and is confident working with 50/50 hybrid boots. I tour as much as I ride the "resort", and I don't mind carrying the extra weight.
I know that the majority on this forum are based out of North America, but if there's any recommendations for shops in Norway or Europe that would be greatly appreciated.
