The most incredible experience I ve ever had at a ski shop.

There s a reason why these guys are nationally ranked as a boot fitter. A clear reason.

I walked in with boots bought elsewhere. I told them I had an entirely unlimited budget- no limits, no compromises, no set backs. I wanted a boot that fit, a boot that worked, and most importantly, a boot that was comfortable. I had a ski trip planned in 3 days, and I needed this solved.

Most ski shops, as you can imagine, take someone like that and get the priciest gear they have. Right off the top shelf. This is not the case here- this shop cares.

I spent well over an hour with Nick as he pulled boot after boot, measuring my foot, trying different ideas, and so on. Apparently my feet are a challenge for boot fitting, but eventually we found a boot that fit like an absolute dream. He told me the price- 399.

I asked, completely straight forward Nick, there s no budget here. Would a significantly more expensive boot work better for me? He went though a bunch of reasons why it s simply not needed. I felt reassured.

However, despite all of the work we had done, there was still one small spot issue on my right foot. It hurt a little bit, while my left foot was perfect. Nick took the time to take the boot in the back, refit the sole, and entirely solve my issue. No questions or money asked. He simply took them and made them perfect.

This story gets better. Whenever you get new boots, you have to reset the ski bindings. While working on the boots Nick told me to get my skis so he could reset the bindings. A task which I thought, considering my experience with other ski shops, may ruin my planned trip with how long it takes. Not here. They did it fast.

All in all, I walked in expecting to spend thousands and only spent around 400. My boots fit, they are the most comfortable I ve ever had, AND the shop ensures the fit. Go skiing for a few days and there s an issue? Take them back, get them worked on, and get them fixed.

Lastly, shout out to Sam- their helpful assistant. I had my old boots, new boots, and skis, and couldn t walk them all to my car. He offered to walk through the pouring rain so I didn t have to take two trips. This shop cares.

This is the premier boot shop of WNY. I recommend all of you who have boot pain to come here and get checked out. I ll be returning for sure.
