Ski Boot tweaks

Trencher, I got the boots and the Alignment some months apart, but yes, I think it was a bargain, because of the way it's improved my skiing stance and performance.

Still can't find the bill, so the price is from memory :roll:

That was a fantastic price bandit, the plates alone cost CHF 30 a set here and 6 hours of a boot fitters time costs CHF 300, the total cost generally works out at about half the price of a pair of performance boots.

Sorry Trencher, you're absolutely right the photos do greatly exaggerate what can be achieved by adjusting the cuffs unfortunately they are the only ones I have.

Tony, if adjusting the cuffs doesn't cure the problem and you have to have the boots or bindings canted it would be a good idea to have your fore-aft balance checked at the same time.

Interesting, and appreciated, thanks. I think I'll visit someone qualified in my area.

full alignment assessment with sole planing, plating and finishing is £120 for all the external work, internally the SBS work which some people find is enough and others don't is £80-£90 and done by Alpine McCannix

Swingbeep the plates are £25 for replacements and £45 for the first set fitted and the boots routed back to DIN...we only ever put them on solid soled boots and only if the boot is new/or very nearly so that the sole is still flat (or close to it)
