Verbier Boot Fitting
The perfect ski boot, custom-fitted to your feet.
Why buy your own ski boots?
Getting professionally fitted ski boots is essential for maximising both comfort and performance on the slopes. Unlike rental ski boots, professionally fitted boots are customised to your unique foot shape, stance, and skiing style.
This precise fit reduces pressure points, minimises foot fatigue, and helps prevent common issues like blisters and numbness.
Expert Verbier Boot Fitting – Achieve Your Perfect Fit
When it comes to skiing in Verbier, comfort and performance on the slopes are key. At Ski Service Verbier, we specialise in professional boot fitting services designed to ensure your ski boots fit like a glove.
Our highly experienced team, led by Dorian, employs cutting-edge technology and decades of expertise to customise boots that suit your foot shape and skiing style, making your time on the mountain both enjoyable and efficient.
Why Choose Ski Service Boot Fitting?
We understand that every skier’s needs are unique.
That’s why we offer a tailored approach to boot fitting, providing a personalised service whether you purchased your boots from us or elsewhere. If you buy your boots from Ski Service Verbier, you benefit from two years of free boot fitting and modifications.
This includes adjustments to the shell, liners, and additional components such as heel lifts, volume reducers, or heel clamps – ensuring your boots remain comfortable and effective over time.
Boot Fitting Process: Step-by-Step
- Initial Consultation and Foot Analysis: Every fitting session begins with a comprehensive foot assessment. Using advanced 3D scanning and pressure mapping technology, we analyse your foot’s structure, identifying any pressure points or unique shapes that will influence the boot fitting process. This high-tech approach allows for incredibly precise customisation, offering a level of accuracy far beyond traditional methods.
- Custom Footbeds and Insoles: Based on the results of the foot scan, we create custom footbeds and insoles that support the foot’s natural arch and promote proper alignment. This significantly improves comfort, reduces fatigue, and optimises the skier’s stance for enhanced performance. Custom insoles also reduce the risk of blisters and other discomforts that can arise from poorly fitted boots.
- Additional Adjustments and Modifications
Our boot fitting process also includes optional adjustments to optimise your comfort and performance further. These services are available both during your initial fitting and as follow-up modifications:- Shell stretching and liner thermoforming
- Installation of components like butterfly heel clamps, volume reducers, and ankle donuts
- Recommendations for SIDAS preformed or custom insoles, with custom footbeds highly recommended for enhanced support and alignment
- Shell and Liner Customisation: Once the footbed is created, our expert fitters modify the boot shell and liner to accommodate the shape of your foot. We use heat molding techniques and specialised tools to stretch or adjust the boot shell, ensuring a precise fit. The boot’s liner is also custom molded to provide additional cushioning and support.
- Biomechanical Testing: For performance-driven skiers, we offer biomechanical testing, where we analyse how your body moves and aligns in your boots. This ensures that the boots not only fit but also enhance your skiing form, leading to better control and efficiency on the slopes.
- Final Adjustments and Fitting Trials: After the modifications, you’ll test the boots in-store on our fitting station. We make any necessary final adjustments, ensuring that the boots provide maximum comfort and performance before you hit the slopes.
Complimentary Boot Fitting
If you purchase your ski boots from us, you benefit from two years of free boot fitting and modifications. This includes adjustments to the shell, liners, and the addition of specific components such as heel lifts, volume reducers, or heel clamps.
Custom Boot Fitting (90 Minutes)
Our comprehensive 90-minute boot fitting session includes:
- Shell and liner modifications: Ensuring a snug and precise fit
- Additional components: Customisation options such as heel lifts, volume reducers, and heel clamps
- Custom footbeds: Recommendations for highly personalised custom footbeds or SIDAS preformed insoles to enhance support and alignment
These modifications not only improve comfort but also significantly enhance performance on the slopes. If the shell requires extensive work, we’ll keep your boots overnight to ensure a perfect fit.
