Reviews
Anyone who has left a bad review is simply wrong. Eric and Lara are the absolute best. I have never had ski boots as comfortable as the ones Eric helped me with! I am even buying my entire family boots from here because Eric fits boots so well. My family knows that I will buy them boots but ONLY from Eric. Him and Lara are incredibly knowledgeable and will ensure you are fitted properly. I am a ski instructor and could get discounted boots but I choose to have Eric fit me because it's 110% worth it! Don't make a mistake and go somewhere else. Go to Eric and Lara for all of your ski boot needs, you will not regret it.
Outstanding experience here. The owners are knowledgeable and have a fantastic inventory to make sure that you leave with the shoes that are just right for you. I’ve had surgery on my feet and finding shoes is a challenge. Eric spent lots of time fitting me with custom orthotics and two pairs of shoes that meet my hiking, biking, walking and travel needs. And my feet feel better than they have in years! I highly recommend this store and its caring owners and will keep coming back. If you have tricky feet or just want some great footwear, stop here!
Absolutely horrific experience, do not give these people any of your time or money. They seemed excited about the fact that we had such a negative experience. We are locals and have lived in the valley for over 30 years, I had heard both negative and positive experiences, but my daughter needed new ski boots and we had wanted to support a local business. I have never in my life been talked down to and ridiculed the way Eric did. My only suggestion is that if you do go into this business, do not have an opinion and do not ask questions, because you will be talked down to and made to feel absolutely awful.
I have somewhat problematic feet and Eric did an awesome job talking me through different options and ultimately recommending the best approach. I am extremely particular about things like how my ski boots fit, and Eric heard out my perspective. After doing a thorough analysis of his own he developed a perfect recommendation. My boots have never been more dialed. I think a lot of skiers go into shops thinking they know what they need. For most ski shops, this attitude is necessary because frankly even a lot of people who call themselves specialized “boot fitters” don’t know what they’re talking about. In reality, most of us are not experts and don’t really know what we need. If you go see Eric make sure you have an open mind because he will be able to figure out what’s best for you. Lara was also very helpful although I interacted with her a bit less. Service: footbed and shell modification
Always so helpful, I love the knowledge they have on all their products. They work so hard to get a shoe that will make you happy and feel right. I've been working in the kitchen for many years and this is the place I go to get my shoes.
Excellent local store for all things footwear. we visited multiple times for shoes socks and other ski and biking gear. And most recently had a set of women’s ski boots custom fitted and the professionalism, the time dedicated, and the quality was impeccable. We continue to remain loyal customers and highly recommend. It seems to be a small family owned business so when they’re busy you may have to wait, but it is well worth it. We also purchased a heated ski bag and found the prices to be very competitive in the quality very high.
The owners are very knowledgeable and provided a white glove experience. Highly recommend this shop for your ski mounting/boot fitting needs. They also have a great selection of high quality inventory, love having an opportunity to go in!
Horrible . I stopped for a simple bike brake wire and was told I did not know what I was doing and needed to leave bike for brake adjustment. I said it's just a broken cable , the guy argued and said It wasn't and implied I was stupid for thinking it was as "they do not break". Got a cable from igloo for 3 bucks and replaced the broken one today . RUN ,these guys are rude , uninformed and condescending and don't know what they are doing , or lie and are trying to upsell for profit.
I highly recommend this store! Not only did we have excellent customer service, the prices are reasonable and the store owner recommended two places to visit that were wonderful experiences! Monarch Lake and Hot Sulphur Springs. Thanks for the Friendly Local Expeirence! The Keen Hiking boots we bought were just perfect. Additionally, these people are avid skiiers, so if you want expert help with ski equipment, this is the place to go.
Eric was very knowledgeable and helpful while I was choosing my first pair of Topos! He was also attentive while I was picking out new Injinjis, pointing out his favorite pair. Great store with quite a shoe selection! Eric also gave us trail maps and suggestions for forest road and trail running. Very happy with my experience!
