  • 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.

    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.

  • Wow, wow, wow. The absolute best experience I’ve had at any bootfitter. The work they do at Le Feet Lab is life changing. I decided to get the whole deal-… read more custom footbeds and molded ZipFit liners with my Lupos. Every last cent I spent was totally worth it. I wore my boots around at home to break them in further, maybe 7 hours STRAIGHT and my feet felt just GREAT! By far the most comfortable ski boots I have ever worn. Cannot recommend this paradise of boot fitting enough, you will leave happy and comfy! Update in 2023- still in the same boots, still perfect. Le Feet Lab is the way.

    I can’t recommend Le Feet Lab enough. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to a truly proper ski boot fitting. Skiing is what I love… read more to do most, and before Le Feet Lab, I found myself with miserable, cramping feet and had to unbuckle for every single lift ride. I went in to Le Feet Lab hoping for a fix to make my boots more tolerable, and ended up buying new boots, liners and custom insoles. Best money I’ve ever spent, no joke. I can literally ski bumps all day and never unbuckle my boots, and my boots are a pretty darn stiff flex. Plus, you will really appreciate what a proper fitting boot can do for your skiing…! If you were like me and your boots have never been quite right, do yourself a favor and go see Jackie (or Jacques, or Dan, or Garret) and love skiing again. Update: my heels weren’t staying down as snugly as I needed, so I went back in. They knew exactly what I was talking about, made a quick adjustment to the shell, and somehow I love my boots even more now than ever. Maybe you’re lucky and have the easiest feet to fit in the world, but if you’re anything like me, let Le Feet Lab take a look and change your life 🙂

  • Wonderful attention to every detail necessary to transform my boots from dreaded torture devices to custom fit comfort. They moved and removed plastic in every spot that I asked, and… read more I feel like they undercharged me for such a valuable service. I was about to buy a new pair of boots.

    I had insoles done by Jacqueline at Le Feet Lab this week. Not only do my boys feel like heaven now with my toes not falling asleep, but on her… read more recommendation I’ve been using them in my shoes also. Normally after a day working on my ferry my back, legs and everything else hurts. since using her custom made insoles I still feel great at the end of the day! my only complaint is that I didn’t do this sooner! she worked pure magic for me. Her knowledge and dedication to doing it right the first time is amazing! I’ll be sending my husband in soon! I’m a snowboarder, not a skier, whatever your sport she can help! can’t wait to try them out when biking! Thank you Jacqueline and Le Feet Lab, you’re truly the best in the business!
