Best Bootfitters in Europe Thread

[PeaHead96]

Thought it would be useful to have a thread where everyone can contribute to identifying the best bootfitters in Europe. This isn't a place to start asking about bootfitting questions, but more so to help people find the most trusted and best bootfitters/shops if they live or find themselves in Europe.

I'll start.


SOLE Bootlab Chamonix ---> https://www.solesportslabs.com/

- Super competent staff, tons of experience, really cool guys in general, small shop, but great atmosphere.

- They carry everything from race boots, commercial on-piste boots, 50/50 boots, touring boots, and a few skimo boots.

- Had custom footbeds made for me. I've had several made over the years, but these are the best I've had so far.

- They also carry Intuition 15 mm Tour Wrap Liners (which appears to be made exclusively for their shop)

Can’t say I have any experience with them, but I get their IG posts and sport-hun seems dialed.

I also get their IG posts and would agree that they appear to be competent and well-equipped. Would be sweet to hear if someone has personal experience with them.

Does anyone know of a reliable fitter in Georgia?

Georgia?

Georgia?

yep the country just south of Russia. Know a fitter over there?

Potentially useful thread, for sure. I've had problems in Europe getting simple punches done in places where there are tons of well-stocked shops. If you recommend a shop, please say what you had done there and who you worked with!

Can't say Sole is my favourite boot fitter in the Alps. In Cham, Damien / Jules at Sanglard are very good.

Best I've found is Anja at Backside in Verbier, who did an awesome mod on my Cochise, adding an extra tongue to boost stiffness and reduce calf volume.

I've heard great things about Damien and Jules at Sanglard. I think I might try and get a boot there next time I'm in Cham just so I can compare them to SOLE.

Ditto, Anja is amazing, she sorted out my plug boots in no time at all.

My sister in law is an instructor in verbier and will only go to Anja for her boots.

They have tools I’ve never seen before. Super precise.

Jules is highly respected in the bootfitters world.

I imagine ONK has a whole list of people he'd recommend...

Exactly what I’ve been thinking. Surely he’ll stumble across this thread at some point and get everyone sorted out. May even know a fitter in Georgia.

Heierling in Davos, Switzerland. Many worldcup racers go there. They even make their own boot.
Christoph is a great guy who can do magic with boots.

Totalfeet in Archamps next to Geneva, small but very professional business, way better experience and result than Sole every time so far.

Site checks out. Just from reading I’m pretty intrigued. Custom made liners sound expensive, but maybe a god-send for certain individuals.
