  • 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!

  • 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.

    Great service. Be prepared to spend several hours here for fitting and a few hours later on for follow up adjustments.

  • 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!

    Custom boot fitting is a continuous process. It takes time and effort. You buy boots from these guys and they will put in the time and effort to get those… read more boots perfect.

  • Went to winter park for a ski trip and found out from a different boot fitter in the area that the boots I had were too big for me. They… read more didn’t have anything in my size, so they recommended Le Feet Lab. They got me in for a fitting same day and were extremely accommodating. Jacques, Jaquelyn (sorry if names are misspelled) and the rest of the staff are very knowledgeable, accommodating and helpful. I had new boots custom fitted and took them on the mountain the next morning. I went through three adjustments while I was out there and they diagnosed and solved the issue in about 10 minutes or less. All technicians working in the shop are very capable, so you will get a great fit no matter who’s working on your boots. Also, if you’re lucky you’ll meet the shop dog, Wyatt! The service offered here is top notch. I’ve never felt more connected to my skis and the boots are extremely comfortable. The price is higher than grabbing boots at REI, but you definitely get what you paid for. One other thing to note is this shop exclusively sells dalbello boots, but they can work on any other boot and do whatever they can to fit them better to you. Dalbello is a great brand from Italy and the boots are fantastic. My wife also has a pair of dalbello boots and loves them. So it’s really more of a brand preference thing to be aware of. Thank you to Le Feet Lab for equipping me with some awesome boots to shred the pow, glades and bumps!

    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!
