Local Experience - Fraser, Colorado

Brennan Bull

I wanted to write this review about my latest ski boot fitting experience. As a local in the valley, I was eager to shop local and support a small business. Upon placing my $75 deposit and scheduling my appointment, Eric assured me he would have something that would fit my foot.Come appointment time, he had only 2 good options that would fit my larger foot, neither of which I was happy with. Feeling that I did not exercise all of the boot manufactures options, it was frustrating that I was $75 in the hole for trying on the small inventory that was available in my size.

Lastly, to top it all off, I brought my own socks in for trying on, as suggested. But he insisted they were too thick for trying boots on. Takes a pair of socks off the shelve for me to try on with. The real KICKER!!! He made me buy the socks from him after I was done fitting boots on and not happy at all!!! Be aware of what your getting yourself into, frustrated to say the least and will not be returning for any of my outdoor or ski gear needs.

Treat your locals right!!!

I never leave reviews but here we are. I went into the shop just looking around as one does and seemingly having a pretty rough day. I said Hi to the associate and when I didn’t have the energy to hold a conversation whilst having on headphones indicating I was not looking for conversation, he chastised me and called me “rude” for simply wanting to be left alone. Would not recommend at all.

Amazing customer service and Lara was so friendly and helpful. Eric really helped my husband with his mountain bike at a very reasonable price

Had my boots fitted yesterday with Eric. Great guy, took his time and but me in the best boot I’ve ever had. Skied with them today, fit like a glove, no hot spots and perfect flex. Had a great day!

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.

My husband and I have been skiing and trailing for years. We stumbled on to Eric and Lara several years ago, now my husband will not go to anyone else for boots and custom foot beds. If a specialist knows what he is talking about and the knowledge makes you better …then take the honest recommendation and improve! He is the boot Dr for skiers and speaks the truth. Lara also full of great info and knows all the local trails .

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!

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.
