Custom Boot Fitting
Boots are the most important part of your ski setup.
A great day on the mountain starts with a great fit. Every foot is different, and while ski boots are made to accommodate a certain range of foot shapes, all skiers will benefit from professional boot fitting to find the boot that matches your foot most precisely. At Cedar Sports, we stretch shells, heat mold liners, and mold custom footbeds to match your feet precisely. When your boots fit right, everything else just clicks—and your time on the slopes becomes that much more enjoyable.

Foot Analysis
The foundation of a proper boot fit.
Finding the right ski boot goes far beyond just knowing your size. Our boot fitters take into account the width, height, and volume of your foot to match you with a boot that fits comfortably AND holds you snug and secure. This allows you to ski harder, longer, and with more confidence. We also identify trouble spots that could benefit from some modification to achieve your perfect fit, such as bunions, stiff ankles, or collapsed arches. Whether you're looking for your first boot or trying to find a high performance boot to use for years to come, it all starts here.
Custom Insoles
The next step in comfort and control.
Footbeds (also known as insoles) can greatly impact the feel and performance of a ski boot, and they have a lot more going on than you might think. Beyond simply accommodating your heel shape and arch height, our footbeds can be tuned for softness and stiffness, allowing for greater shock absorption or for improved response and performance. Our boot fitters analyze how your foot flexes through the arch and ankle, take precise molds of your feet, and use the right materials to create a footbed catered perfectly to your foot and how you ski.
Boot Modifications
The secret to all-day performance.
At the end of the day, despite all we do, a ski boot is still a hard plastic shell that we jam our feet into. To have a truly comfortable, snug, high performance fit, we need to make that shell match the shape and angle of your foot. Our boot fitters mold and modify the foam liners, add heel lifters for stiff or shallow ankles, and stretch and grind away high pressure spots in the shell, to bring your boot to an ideal fit customized exactly to your foot. From mild pain to changes from injury or surgery, or if you just want that perfect fit and high performance feel, boot modification at Cedar Sports is your answer.
