If your feet hurt, you will not ski! Why is something so obvious so frequently ignored? Consider the real cost in money and time to actually be on… read more a resort’s ski run? Why not have properly sized pain-free custom fitted boots? My family learned this lesson long ago and now four of our five skiers have purchased and/or had their boots modified by Le Feet Lab, with the youngest who has recently stopped growing waiting to get back to Winter Park for her pair. The three who need them also have custom shoe orthotics from Le Feet Lab. Over twenty years, we have been to ski shops & boot fitters in Whistler, Banff, Utah, Vermont and all over Colorado. No one comes close to the talent and skills of Jacques and his daughter Jacqueline. A great value is an amount paid to purchase something you will use again and again for years into the future, so consider the properly sized and if necessary customized boots and liners you will buy from Le Feet Lab as the best ski value you will ever have the opportunity to purchase.

Jacques and Jacqueline are fantastic to work with and the Le Feet Lab product is excellent. I highly recommend Le Feet Lab. My quick review score is 5… read more stars. I am a real customer who was referred to Le Feet Lab by another real customer who has used their services for almost 20 years. The long winded description of my fantastic experience is below. I worked with Le Feet Lab before the start of the 2015-2016 ski season. I have skied for many years, but have always fought boot fit issues resulting in legs and feet which are just wore out at the end of the day. I have a history of foot challenges including very high arches, Plantar Fasciitis and one leg 1/2 inch shorter than the other. A friend who is a former ski racer and current ski instructor suggested the Le Feet boot system. The system consists of Dalbello shells with ZipFit cork liners and custom foot bed orthotics specific to your feet. They create orthotics for all customers, even if they do not have feet disasters like myself. The orthotics are a hard plastic material which are heated and molded to your feet. Once cool, they are rigid. The orthotics are not just pulled off of a shelf based on your footprint and stuck into your boots. Le Feet will work with you until you are happy with the fit of the system. They worked with me for nearly three hours. They have a collection of equipment which makes you think of a cobbler’s workshop. They can form the liners to any shape needed to accommodate your foot/calf requirements. In my visit, they had the liners in and out of my shells 4-5 times per foot. They take the time needed to be sure you have a great fitting pair of boots and you are comfortable in those boots. The complete system resulted in the best feeling boot I have ever had on my foot. Each boot fits solidly around my foot in all places. The Dalbello buckle system pulls your foot diagonally back and down into the heal pocket of the Zip Fit liners which literally locks your foot in place like no other boot I have ever wore. What was really impressive was that there was literally no play with my foot in the liner, especially laterally. I found the three piece Dalbello easier to get into than my previous two piece shelled boots. I skied these boots about 10 times during the 2015-2016 season. After the first day I did return to have the liners adjusted in my ankle bone area to give a little bit more room. There was no charge for the adjustments. I did some fine tuning to the fit by changes to the micro adjust buckles. Unlike all of my previous boots, the difference in fit introduced in a single turn of the buckle makes a big difference with the ZipFit liners. The new boots have given me amazing edge control and with the adjustments that Le Feet made for my short leg, I no longer initiate my left and right turns differently. Best of all, I no longer finish the day with sore feet and legs. The Le Feet approach is a system, not a quick fix solution. Yes the system is expensive, but compared to high end boots costing around $700 and lasting only 2-3 seasons, they are not that expensive. Based on the shells I bought, I spent just under $1000. The system has a long life expectancy. A previous customer stopped into the shop for something minor and she was going on year 11. Based on the number of ski days I have a year, and the fact that I am 58, these boots should get me to skiing at age 70. Again, I highly recommend working with Jacques and Jacqueline at Le Feet Lab. Five Stars!

The boot fitter was super informative and professional. I got some custom insoles made today and highly recommend this place. Very fair price for the insole and the bootfitter’s time.

I highly recommend Le Feet Lab to anyone considering getting ski boots fitted/molded. I was on the fence given the price but Jacqueline and Jacques went above and beyond to… read more make the experience a great one and the investment absolutely worth it. I was traveling to winter park for a 5 day ski trip and stopped in upon arrival day one to get the process started. I made an appointment about a month ahead of time – definitely a must if you plan to visit during peak season. Also bring your patience with you – it’s not a quick process and it’s a small family owned business, but they work super hard to make sure everyone is getting a great boot fit. Milage will vary on how well your fit goes – my boyfriend who also was fitted for boots only needed one minor tweak to feel comfortable after a day of skiing, whereas I had to stop in 3 more times for adjustments – it just depends on your body. They were very accommodating in making adjustments and made it clear they will work with you until you are happy. One word of warning – the first day of skiing in the boots can be a bit rough. After day one I was worried very about getting to a point where I was comfortable but after the first adjustment I was in much better shape. TLDR; fantastic boot fitters, recommend for anyone considering making the investment.

Jacque & Jacqueline are great. They make boots fit right including custom orthotics. When I returned home for a post podiatry surgery checkup, the podiatrist looked at the orthotic… read more Jacque made for my street shoes. He said those were extremely well done and thought they were better than others he had seen that cost $500. Of course Jacque did mine for much less than that as a part of the deal with boots, bag, and orthotics. We love our heated boot bags. Thanks for all you help.

Jacqueline is a boot whisperer. When she found out I was a mechanical engineer, she took extra time to explain exactly what she was doing and why. And not only… read more do her explanations make sense, they work. Amazing skill and dedication. Thank you!
