Fit

Before the start of last ski season I had a full custom fit performed on my boots by Rob at Sun & Snow Sports. Rob's a master bootfitter and he did the full treatment on my boots - custom footbeds, reshaped the shell in some places, ground the liners. The investment was worth every penny. The fit is exceptional. Energy transfer to my skis is quick and precise. No more cramping in my arch. And I can ski all day with warm comfortable feet. If you ski in off-the-shelf boots, I strongly recommend a professional fitting.

What's interesting is that Rob did my fitting sans socks to get a fit that's true to my foot. He recommended a super thin sock, so I picked up some SmartWool PhD Light socks. Unfortunately last weekend's trip happened on short notice, and I forgot to grab ski socks. So, I picked up some general purpose Wigwam ski socks. The difference was unbelievable. The comfort and performance of my boots was significantly less with these socks. It was shocking how such a small issue as slightly thicker socks made a difference. But, I guess that's a testament to how precisely my boots fit.
