Hi,

Can anyone recommend a ski boot fitter in London please?

I went to Snow & Rock and Ellis Brigham in High Street Ken. They both offer the same service - which looks ok. However, they two guys I spoke to seem a bit young. I would rather have someone who is a seasoned ski boot fitter to fit my boots. I'd appreciate a recommnedation for a shop and person.

Many thanks.
Paul

As per the recs you received in your thread here.

If you have ordinary standard, straightforward feet, Profeet may suit. However they do run a strict booking slot, and if you have fitting problems, your fitter will have another client to see. (This happened to me there)

Also, Profeet use their own brand Conformable footbeds. Lockwoods and Solutions for Feet use the Superfeet system. You will need to decide which system you prefer and to budget for a footbed, as no trained fitter will want to fit a boot to an unstabilised foot.

Thanks - but I was actually asking for a recommendation for a shop and person in London.

Well, now you have a recommendation for a shop, why not phone them and ask for a specific appointment with the fitter they recommend for your needs.

When I used Profeet, I booked several months in advance and can't name my fitter.

Snowheads currently have a thread running which may be of interest to you.

Frank at 'Finches' ski shop in Forest Hill (SE London). That's my recommendation!
