My favourite actually just left town.

If you can make the trip go to Daniel Lachance in Tremblant. Some of the best in eastern Canada, and he carries a whole range of freeride boots, including Full Tilts.

Plus the most fun selection of skis you'll see anywhere in canada

Two years ago I got fitted by a Scandinavian guy at T and L and he was really good. I didn't end up buying those boots in the end.

Lik eMacmahooon said Danielle Lachance in Tremblant fits boots really well they will spend hours with you to get them right. Also Marc-Andre at the Salomon Shop in Tremblant is also really good at fitting.

Gord at tommy and lefebvre on bank is really good. He does a lot of boot work as well as boot fitting. He can pretty much fix any problem with your boots. He works most weekdays so give us a call and see if he's in before you stop by.

^yah, hes really good. Oh and just for the record. NEVER BUY BOOTS AT T&L SUMMER SALE! they don;t really know what their doing, thye have a limited selection, and their just trying to get rid of all the old stuff so if it half works, they'll sell it too you.

Go and see Gord at T&L... he's been fitting boots for 15 years... he's also a foot doctor. They've got the equipment to stretch and customize your boots in every way possible, put in custom tongues & footbeds.

You should probably rearrange the boot wall again. The last 2 times I have been in all the FTs are in the wrong cubes

The T&L guys were sick. I straight up told them I wasn't going to buy there and they let me try on different boots and even helped me out a little anyways.

I know it depends on how much modifying they do the boot itself but whats a rough price range?

JAMIE BLADES!!

and to the guy above, gord's super expensive, but if you've got some crazy foot issues he's the guy to go for. if you just want a punch, a bunch of guys can do it, 25 bucks.

I have serious foot issues, so I'd like to get some great fitting boots to help fix the problems. from what i hear Gord from T and L/Sporting life is the go-to guy for this, i was wondering if anyone knew someone from Kunstadt who could fit me as well as Gord?
