It’s no 10-minute task finding boots that properly support the 26 bones, 36 muscles, 56 ligaments, and 10,000 nerve endings of each foot. So...

...Where do you go to buy your ski boots? (In the Salt Lake/Park City, Utah area) and/or...who do you talk to at that location?

  1. I live in the Salt Lake area too.  Like the other guy said, I would go to local shops and ask them about it.  I know for a fact that one of the shops at the town in the Canyons ski resort has a big sign that brags "most comfortable ski boots ever made" but I'm not completely sure of the name.  If you went there, you could ask around and find it pretty easily.  

    Check out this website too, it might help you.

    P.s. sports den is always a good store for whatever i go there for.


  2. I live in Provo, and I have been skiing for about 15 years, and the place I really like and most recommend is Outdoors Unlimited on BYU campus. They get you fitted, and get everything you need in about 5 minutes, and they keep a record of what size, and what height the boots and skiis are. I really like it, and I recommend it to all!

  3. Do a web search for boot fitting. There is a certification process for boot fitters that involves several days of training.  I'm not in the SL area so I can't give a name for that area but some of the best boot fitters have foot problems or body alignment problems that force them to learn and adapt to the boots on the market.

    It seems to me that your foot shape and your ski boot are not a match and you need some work past the retail shop level. In Seattle I deal with Custom Boots, in Ballard.  Outstanding adjustments, so I can walk after a day of skiing.

  4. go to a ski shop and talk to the sales man and tell him that you are going to buy a boot but you need to make the right decision

    they will set you up
