     For everyone who has ever skied, the majority of us have dealt with the pain of wearing ski boots.  Men’s as well as ladies ski boots are designed and built around an “average” foot shape and I swear that everyone who comes in for boots has anything but an average foot!  Boots don’t take into account abnormalities that feet have and most of us have them. 

      We understand that the boot is the link between the skier and the ski.  Your feet, which are home to 25% of the bodies bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and blood vessels, are designed to keep you balanced.  When your balance is compromised due to an ill fitted boot, your feet not only hurt and go numb but you can’t buy a turn to save your day of skiing!   

        When we sell boots or fit your existing boots we take the time necessary to do a complete and thorough job.  Everything from measuring both feet for overall length, width and arch length to shell sizing and shell modification to stance alignment. See, the boot needs to work with the skier rather than the skier conforming to the boot!  Not only will you ski better, but you’ll be skiing better because you are not in pain!

        We will talk about and recommend proper socks and insoles and the benefits of both.  The correct sock will move moisture (sweat)from your feet; the feet stay dry and therefore warmer.  Using a supportive insole that contours the feet and allows the feet to remain dynamic verses locked up is life changing in itself. 

         Hillcrest invested heavily a few years ago.  We purchased some of the finest equipment available to date ranging from boot presses to state of the art sole planer by Keyser Tools.  We spent countless hours updating our fitting technique and knowledge at Whistler. So, if you're in need of new boots, you have fitting issues with your current boots or you simply want to see if you are in the right boot, come on in to Hillcrest, we look forward to seeing you.
