The Pro has invested in the latest in boot fitting analysis technology. The BootDoc Vandra 3D scanner will make a 3D model of your feet measuring, the length, width, instep,  arch type, and other metrics for each foot. This is confirmed and enhanced with a visual assessment.

The boot fitting process begins with an assessment of your feet.

We will evaluate length, width, instep height, arch type, ankle shape, calf shape, ankle range of motion, arch flexibility, and any areas of discomfort or concern. We will do this using our BootDoc 3D Scanner as well as a hands on assessment.

This information helps us recommend ski boots that match your foot shape, skiing ability, and performance goals. This will also guide us on what modifications may be needed to maximize comfort and performance.

After evaluating your feet, we will select boots that are appropriate for your foot shape, ability level, and intended use.

Most customers try on 2–3 similar boots during the fitting process. Trying too many boots can make it harder to evaluate fit accurately, so we focus on models that are most likely to work best for your feet.

The Pro Ski and Ride regularly stocks over 80 models of ski boots from top manufacturers! Available inventory can be found here.

A shell fit helps us evaluate whether the boot shell is the correct size and shape for your foot. During this step, we assess the boot without the liner to check available space around the foot. This helps determine whether the boot is the right length, width, and volume before making additional adjustments.

After the shell fit, we evaluate the ski boot with the liner in place and the boot buckled properly. This allows us to check how the boot feels on your foot in a more realistic skiing position. We look for areas of pressure, discomfort, excess movement, heel lift, instep pressure, toe pressure, ankle pressure, and other fit concerns.

This evaluation helps us determine whether the boot is the right match and what adjustments may be needed. Some pressure points can be addressed through liner molding, shell stretching, shell grinding, padding, footbeds, or other modifications, while other issues may indicate that a different boot shape, size, or volume would be a better choice.

Custom footbeds will be recommended during the fitting process.

A proper footbed can improve support, alignment, comfort, and consistency inside the boot. Custom footbeds can also help reduce unnecessary foot movement, which may improve control and reduce pressure points.

The Pro Ski and Ride offers a variety of drop-in and custom footbeds to suit a range of needs, foot shapes, and budgets. Some customers may benefit from a supportive drop-in footbed, while others may need a fully custom footbed for a more precise fit.

Customers who purchase ski boots at The Pro Ski and Ride receive 20% off custom footbeds when purchased with their boots.

Many ski boot liners and shells can be heat molded and adjusted to improve fit.

Depending on the boot and the customer’s needs, adjustments may include liner molding, shell punching, shell stretching, shell grinding, cuff adjustments, tongue padding, heel hold work, or other fit modifications.

Not every boot requires major customization. Our goal is to make the boot fit properly without over-modifying it unnecessarily.

Basic stance alignment will be reviewed as part of the boot fitting process.

This may include evaluating how your body is positioned in the boot and whether basic adjustments can improve balance, comfort, or performance.

More detailed alignment work may require a separate Advanced Stance Alignment appointment.

During the boot fitting process, we may recommend optional accessories or upgrades when they are appropriate.

These may include aftermarket ZipFit liners, Booster Straps, spoilers, heel lifts, Hotronic Foot Warmers, or other fit and performance accessories.

We only recommend upgrades when we believe they can meaningfully improve fit, comfort, or performance.

New ski boots may have a different sole length or sole type than your previous boots. Because of this, ski bindings must be adjusted and calibrated to the new boots before use.

Ski boots purchased in store at The Pro Ski and Ride include binding adjustment at no additional charge for up to two pairs of skis.

Not all bindings can be adjusted or serviced by The Pro Ski and Ride. Some older bindings, non-indemnified bindings, or damaged bindings may not be serviceable.

*Remounted bindings will incur an additional charge.

Please bring:

• Your ski socks
• Your current ski boots, if you have them
• Any footbeds or insoles you currently use
• Your skis, if you are purchasing new ski boots and need bindings adjusted
• Information about your skiing ability, goals, and any past boot fit issues

A typical new ski boot fitting takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.

Boot adjustment appointments typically take 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Appointment length may vary depending on how many boots are tried on, whether custom footbeds are made, and how much customization is needed.

Most ski boots purchased in store at The Pro Ski and Ride include our Perfect Fit Guarantee.

The Perfect Fit Guarantee covers the initial boot fitting and adjustments at no additional charge for eligible boots purchased from The Pro Ski and Ride.

We can also work on ski boots purchased elsewhere, including new or used boots, for an additional charge.

Boot fitting charges will vary depending on the type of work required.

Appointments are recommended for new ski boot fittings, boot adjustments, custom footbeds, and alignment work.

Scheduling an appointment helps us make sure a boot fitter is available and that enough time is reserved for your fitting.
