Cost $260 to $650
Ski boot liner Brands
-Zipfit Liners
-Intuition Liners
-Atomic Mimic Professional Liners
A ski boot custom liner fitting program involves the customization of the inner liners of ski boots to improve comfort, performance, and fit for individual skiers. Here’s an overview of what such a program typically includes:
Ski Boot Liner Fitting Includes
Assessment and Evaluation:
-Technical analysis of your foot shape, size & volume
-Footbed Assessment
Selection of Custom Liners:
-Based on the assessment, the technician will select appropriate custom liners that best suit the skier's feet and skiing style.
-Custom liners can vary in materials (such as foam or heat-moldable plastics), thickness, and stiffness to accommodate different levels of performance and comfort needs.
Molding Process:
-Heat Molding: The selected liners are heat-molded to the skier's feet. This process involves heating the liners in a specialized oven or with a heat gun to make them pliable.
-Once heated, the skier wears the boots with the liners inside, allowing the liners to conform to the unique shape of their feet.
Fit Adjustment:
-During and after molding, adjustments may be made to ensure the liners provide optimal fit and comfort.
-2 hours of free shop time post initial assessment backed by our Bootfit guarantee.
STANCE AND BALANCE SERVICES
Cost $160 plus additional Labour
Canting a ski boot refers to the process of adjusting the angle of the boot sole in relation to the ski. This adjustment is necessary to align the skier's legs, particularly the lower legs (tibia), with the ski and the direction of travel, thereby improving balance, performance, and comfort.
Methods of Canting:
-Cantology or Brand Specific Shimming: Adding small wedges or shims under the boot sole to tilt it inward or outward.
-Planing: Sometimes, the boot sole may be ground down slightly to adjust the angle.
-Custom Inserts: In some cases, custom-made inserts or footbeds may be used to correct alignment issues from the ground up, affecting both boots equally.
Ski Boot Canting Services include
Initial Assessment:
-Evaluation of the skier’s natural stance and leg alignment, using specialized alignment tools.
-Gait Analysis by observing the skier’s walking and skiing stance to identify any alignment issues.
Cuff Alignment Adjustment:
-Creating custom footbed and insoles to support the foot’s natural alignment within the boot.
-Making Lateral Adjustments by adjusting the angle of the ski boot cuff to tilt inward or outward, aligning with the skier’s leg angle.
Customization:
-Making necessary Shell Modifications by Grinding or shimming the boot soles to achieve the desired cant angle.
-Liner Adjustments can be made by Modifying or replacing the boot liner for better fit and alignment.
Finalizing Fit
-Routing and returning boot toe and heels to correct din length.
-Making small tweaks as needed to maintain optimal alignment and performance based on skier feedback and performance
CUSTOM INSOLE FITTING
Cost - $200
A custom insole is a specially designed insert for ski boots or snowboard boots, tailored to fit the unique shape and needs of an individual's feet.
Our process of creating custom insoles includes:
-An Assessment Evaluating the foot structure, arch type, and gait to identify specific needs.
-Taking precise molds of the feet to capture their exact shape.
-Designing the insole to address issues like arch support, pressure distribution, and alignment correction.
-Choosing materials and selecting placement for optimal comfort, support, and durability.
-Ensuring the insoles fit properly to your ski or snowboard boot and making necessary adjustments for comfort and performance.

Amazing as always! So knowledgeable, always smiling, and genuinely wanting to help rather than just sell.
- Bill Faulkner·
I booked an appointment with Cam to replace my old boots. I appreciated his honesty in letting me know that based on my shoe size, it would be better to wait for the new arrivals in the fall. Thanks for the advice, and see you in the fall!
- Sherry·
Had an amazing experience with Darren picking out my first ski boots. He was super knowledgeable and patient, making the whole process easy and fun. Highly recommend Darren to any beginners out there!
- Melanie·
Can was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Cam did two boot fittings for me, and both were amazing jobs. Well done Cam.
- Seanna Swayne·
Excellent service, we won't be going anywhere else for boots in the future!
