Sore Feet? Lance Can Help
When I was 15 years old, my ski boots hurt so badly that I had to finish a family ski vacation on a rented snowboard (gasp!) because putting my feet into hard plastic ski boots had become unbearable. Having since tried almost every brand of ski boot on the market, I can confidently tell you that there isn’t a boot out there that will fit my feet without serious modification. My current boots fit perfectly, thanks to the work of Revelstoke local Lance Schultz. Lance has been a professional ski boot fitter for many years, first in Whistler and most recently in Revelstoke. Here at thestoke.ca we like to support local business, and Lance is about as local as it gets–he’s just recently built a boot fitting shop in his backyard (aka The Boot Shed). His current equipment includes an industrial sized boot shell punch, an oven for ‘cooking’ liners and a variety of foams and tools for making custom pads. Lance uses these tools to eliminate painful pressure points and to fill-in areas where boots are too loose. On my last visit we stretched the width of my boots by almost 1 cm and added some padding around my ankles to stop my heel from lifting. I no longer finish every day in agony and have gained a lot of control over my skis. If you have foot pain or a sloppy fit we highly recommend that you give Lance a call at 250-814-9854 (honestly, it’s worth a trip just to hang out in the the boot shed).
