  • Absolutely the best, most-personalized, caring service I’ve had at any store. Of course, it wasn’t a foot massage, it was custom-fitted ski boots! This review auto-populated “foot massage” and I… read more couldn’t remove it. Anyway, I bought these boots here five years ago. My foot has changed with age and the owner personally remolded the boots to fit my new foot—at no additional charge. If you get boots anywhere else, you are making a mistake. Even if you don’t ski Winter Park, you should get boots here.

    My Dalbello ski boots, custom fitted by Jacques 12 years ago, have kept me skiing! Years ago ski rental shops and other skiers had recommended Le Feet Lab to me… read more because I was trying to jam a full length custom leather orthotic into my ski boots. I had been unsuccessfully renting oversized boots to accommodate my old deteriorating leather orthotics and needless to say, I had no control on the slopes and about gave up skiing. So far my custom boots have held up great for 12 years and I’m still hitting the slopes – with my grandkids. But the best part about Le Feet Lab is their custom made orthotics. In the past I had used chiropractors and podiatrists to make custom leather orthotics that didn’t hold up and also didn’t correct my foot problems very well. Now I refer people to Le Feet Lab all the time if they really want help to fix their foot problems. As a RN I have seen foot problems eventually cause knee, hip, and back trouble. Without my custom Le Feet Lab Orthotics, I suffer knee and hip pain, as well as my shoes wear out prematurely and unevenly across the bottom of the sole. I know I’m in proper alignment because my shoes last forever now. I am truly thankful for the orthotics that Jacques and Jacqueline custom make. I wish everyone with any kind of foot problem could see Le Feet Lab for custom orthotics before they develop orthopedic ankle, knee, hip, or back problems. Jacques and Jacqueline need to train the medical community how to make custom orthotics that prevent deterioration of the musculoskeletal system and associated pain. I am not a person who normally writes reviews but I am writing this to let everyone know about their exceptional services; they have helped me so much!

  • 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.

    This is my 7th full season on my Dalbello shells / Zip Fit Liners that Jacques personally fit for me. I’m an aggressive skier, 6’2, 220 lbs. … read more I don’t meet many people that ski faster. I have a house in Winter Park and normally get 30-45 days in per year. I like to spend a lot of time in the bumps and trees when conditions are right. I can tell you quite simply, these boots are the absolute best $900 you will spend. They will change how you ski. They will change how you feel after you ski. They will allow you to get the most out of the $1000 skis attached to your feet and they will come back day after day, without packing out and without developing hot spots. I seriously question the other reviews on this post. Winter Park is a small town. These reviews sound more like a disgruntled former employee than an actual customer. For instance, earlier this season, I stoppped by Jacques’ shop with the intention of purchasing new shells. After +/- 300 days, my black shells look like they went to war. Jacques took a look at them, made a few adjustments and told me I still had 1-2 seasons left. There was no charge. I was ready to drop $400 buck on shells but I’m still happily wearing what may be the ugliest boots on the mountain! If you’re looking to improve your skiing, decrease your chances of injury and get the most out of the engineering that went in to your skis – and your body – this is the absolute best way to go. My wife is on her fifth year on her Dalbello / Zip Fit boots and she tells people that Le Feet Lab changed her life. She was ready to give up on downhill skiing as she was always having boot issues. Not anymore. Yes. They’re expensive – but so is knee surgery or wasted ski passes because your feet hurt. These boots are an investment in your health, comfort and safety. You get what you pay for and when you consider what you get, these boots are a great investment. If I lost these boots, I would not even consider going to a ski shop and purchasing off the rack from a 24 year old boot fitter (no offense). I would head straight back to Le Feet Lab and purchase again – no question about it. Very highly recommended – and I am a real person, real customer – with no affiliation to the shop. My email is fort collin skier at gmail – (no spaces, obviously) – if you have any questions.

  • 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.

    I bought a new pair of boots at Le Feet last winter and skied on them for three days then and one day this year. They just killed my feet.… read more I took them back and Dan resized and replaced the shell and since then they’ve been great! I’m so happy with the customer service.

  • This place is a cultural institution. The real magic is that only that, unlike many shops that sell boots indiscriminately, boots, liners, and insoles are all purposely chosen for… read more fit and performance! There are other expert boot fitters of equal caliber skill wise but NO ONE else that has a “fit” like Le Feet Lab.

    One of my (old) ski boots cracked (see pictures 1 and 2) during a 4-day ski trip I went on with a bunch of my friends. I rented some boots… read more at the resort for the rest of the day, then went boot shopping the next day. I went to Christy Sports first, but one of their boot fitters was out due to “COVID protocol”, and the other was booked through the following Tuesday (it was a Saturday). So, I went to Le Feet Lab since they had availability that day about an hour from when I called. I’m a fairly advanced skier – moguls and tree runs are my usual playground. However, I didn’t even realize how my old boots were limiting me. I thought I just needed to work on my technique, but I know now that I needed better fitting boots. My new boots fit perfectly – I even went down a whole size. The difference the custom fit has made in my skiing is incredible. Not only do my skis simply go where I want them to, I also feel better and can ski for longer. I feel much more in control than I used to – I can hop off the top of a mogul, bash into another sideways, and keep going, whereas in my old boots I’d likely lose my balance or cross my skis (yikes) because the ankle was too loose. My old boots also tended to cause pain in the outside of my forefoot. I have a relatively wide forefoot, a relatively narrow heel/ankle, and pretty large calves, so this makes sense. Long story short, after going to Le Feet Lab, I can’t imagine getting ski boots fit any other way.
