The beauty of buying from there is that they have a comfort guarantee so will work on the boots to stretch and grind any pressure spots and if not satisfied they will give up to 70% of the purchase price back even if you have used them for up to 4 weeks skiing and you have the receipt of purchase.


my favourite shop in the whole world.

we were there last sunday, my husband was having problems with one of his boots and wanted to get it sorted before we travel. the girl spent an hour and a half fixing the very apparent problem. he's been walking around the house in them every day since and says they feel like slippers. stirling work!

If they fit you .....buy em. If you fancy them, be objective, they may not fit, and end up as very pricey plant pots.

Okay, I see your dilemma. How about "Buy the boots if they fit, and don't have them moulded to your feet, until you have lost the weight"
:D

I`ve decided to give them a miss,The money i would save now with the sales on, Would be then spent on having them moulded so i would be no better off.
So after much deliberation i`m going to save my cash.
