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.

I came to Le Feet seeking a solution to my ill fitting boots – I could ski full days but they hurt. I was fortunate to work with Jacques who… read more minced no words in telling me that the boots were too big, nothing could fix that and I had to get a new pair. My new boots are two sizes smaller! I ended up paying about $1300 for my Lupo AX 120s with zipliners and custom footbed, a little more than the one grand price tag that had been indicated to me. While the price difference rankled me for a few days after purchase, I need to say that the boots have made a huge difference in my skiing just like Jacques had said – I could feel the increased responsiveness of my skis in the first few turns. I no longer have to lean super far forward to initiate turns. Jacques is a master of his trade and it is apparent how much he cares about his craft. I value the pro tips I got about boot wear and care – no long johns below boots, only thin socks and I ended up buying the heated boot bag as well. The heated bag made the break in much much easier than it would have been otherwise – the first day I couldn’t ski beyond an hour with un-heated boots. In the end, my boots feel extremely snug around my feet and I’m grateful to have worked with Jacques.

Jackie was awesome! Super knowledgeable and helped my husband get his snowboarding boots fitted perfectly. They carry great quality products and are worth every penny!

Two days skiing on new Dalbello Lupo SPs and after a few hours the inside of both heels felt like they were in a medieval torture device. Stopped in, no… read more appointment needed, and was fit with custom orthotics. I was skeptical that they alone would solve the problem, but the heel cups.could be expanded if the pain persisted. They worked better than expected. No pain after a whole day on skis! Thank you for great work, fast and at a fair price.

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 🙂

Update: My boots needed an adjustment and the wonderful staff at Le Feet hooked it up. She said that the plastic of my boots will adjust over time, but… read more adjustments are included in the initial purchase, so there was no charge. They always offer me an espresso or water during the adjustment. Absolutely a class act. I am so thankful! I am so incredibly grateful for the folks at Le Feet Lab. Skiing was so painful. My boots took the joy away from the experience. I was only getting about 3 runs in before I had to stop. Not any longer! They took over 2 hours to make sure my boots fit perfectly. I got the works. Was it kinda expensive?.. A bit. Was it worth every penny- yes! Would I do it again in a heartbeat? Absolutely! Thank you for the time, experience, and know-how to bring the joy back to skiing.
