Our ski boot fitting appointment for ski boots purchased elsewhere is a 1 hour appointment with one of our professional boot fitters. 

What happens during this boot fitting?

We will begin with an initial assessment which involves getting to know you and your experiences with skiing and ski boots. We will then carry out an in-depth assessment of your feet and their biometrics. With this knowledge we can then look at the boots you have purchased elsewhere and check they are going to be suitable for you.

This boot fitting includes 1 boot stretch if required, heat moulding the inner boot and making any adjustments needed to the buckles, cuff alignment and canting.

If you are having problems with the boots it may be that they aren't the right boot for you or that you need a custom insole to further support your foot. Most ski boot issues come from the foot being insufficiently supported inside the boot. This movement can be uncomfortable and cause pain, discomfort and tiredness. If you or the boot fitter believe it would be beneficial to go for a custom footbed there would be an additional cost of between £40 and £100 depending on your requirements and the insole chosen.

After getting your footbeds ready we will begin the process of moulding the inner liner of your ski boots (if they are heat mouldable). The boot liners will go into a hot air oven for around 15 minutes, this makes the liner soft and pliable. You will then be asked to put the boots on and stand in your ski position for a further 15 minutes whilst the liner cools. This process will ensure that the liner moulds fully around your foot giving you the best support and comfort.

Once everything is completed with your ski boot fitting the boot fitter will run through some very important information with you. Including how to do up your boots correctly inline with the manufacturers recommendations, boot after care, ski boot storage, bedding in your boots and any additional items you might need. These could include boot warmers, boot dryers, boot bags and traction covers.

If any additional work is required these will be chargeable as follows:

Custom Insoles                         -    £40.00 to £100.00

Additional Boot Fitting Aids    -    Prices Vary

Additional Fitting Time            -    £25.00/30 minutes

Additional Boot Stretches       -    £25.00 per stretch

Boot Grind                                 -    £25.00

Our custom insole appointment is a 45 minute appointment with one of our professional boot fitters, we will make a pair of Sidas Red Custom Insoles for your ski boots, the price includes the insoles and the fitting appointment.

Most ski boot issues come from the foot being insufficiently supported inside the boot. This movement can be uncomfortable and cause pain, discomfort and tiredness. This is why a fully custom insole is such an important part of your equipment. 

What happens during the fitting appointment?

We will begin with an initial assessment which involves getting to know you and your experiences with skiing and ski boots. We will then carry out an in-depth assessment of your feet and their biometrics. With this knowledge we can then advise you on the best insole to go for. If you choose to upgrade to a Sidas Custom Comfort insole there will be an additional charge of £20.00. If any additional items are required such as heal pads these will also be chargeable.

Once we have carried out the initial assessment we will then begin by making a vacuum print of your feet using the Sidas custom foot plates. These are large blue malleable vacuum pads that can take an exact print of your foot.

Whilst this is happening we will be heating up your chosen insoles in the Sidas insole oven. This is a flat glass oven that gently heats the insoles to make them soft and pliable ready to place into your foot moulds. Once the insoles have been in the oven for approximately 6 minutes they will be carefully placed into the vacuum pads and you will be asked to stand back on top of the pads and move into your ski stance.

The insoles will take to the mould of your foot very quickly so the boot fitter will soon ask for you to sit back and remove your feet from the pads once more.

The boot fitter will know at this point if there is any additional support needed around your heal or the arch of your foot. If this is necessary they will add on these extra sections at this point in the process. They will then trim the insole to fit your boot perfectly and finish it on a grinding wheel to ensure all the edges are smooth.

You now have a pair of fully Custom Insoles which will hug the shape of your foot completely, providing the best possible well-being and maximum shock absorption.

Our Snowboard boot fitting service is a 1 hour boot fitting appointment with one of our professional boot fitters. 

What happens during a snowboard boot fitting?

We will begin with an initial assessment which involves getting to know you and your experiences with snowboarding and snowboard boots. 

We will then bring out a selection of boots that are best suited to your foot shape and ability. Snowboard boots will always feel snug when you first put them on but don't let this put you off, we will recommend keeping each pair on for around 10-15 minutes. This will allow the liners to soften and give you a better idea of how they are going to feel over time.

Once we have found the right pair of boots for you we will begin the custom fitting process. All the boots we sell come with a heat mouldable inner liner and having these moulded to your feet makes a big difference in their overall fit. The boot liners will go into a hot air oven for around 10 minutes, this makes the liner soft and pliable. You will then be asked to put the boots on and stand in your snowboard stance for a further 10 minutes whilst the liner cools. This process will ensure that the liner moulds fully around your foot giving you the best support and comfort.

Once everything is completed with your boot fitting the boot fitter will run through some very important information with you. Including how to do up your boots correctly, after care, snowboard boot storage, bedding in your boots and any additional items you might need. These could include boot warmers, boot dryers and socks.

If during your boot fitting you or your boot fitter feel that a custom footbed would be beneficial, then you will have the opportunity to add on onto your boot fitting at an additional cost.

What you need to bring to your appointment?

Please ensure you bring a face mask to wear during your visit to the shop. We also recommend wearing a loose pair of trousers that can be easily pulled up over your knee. And a pair of snowboard socks unless you would like to purchase a pair on the day.
