Custom Ski Boot Fitting

Is there anywhere in Borovets that offer a custom fitting?

If so, any ideas on prices?

My girlfriend wants to get custom fitted soles/liners on her new boots but I reckon she would be better getting it done in resort.

I can only think of one and i'm not 100% I know it as the Rossignol shop underneath the Ela hotel opposite the main entrance to the Samokov hotel. The guy there is called Lubo i recall. You might be better off getting them done in the UK. In my opinion.

re: Custom Ski Boot Fitting

Agree with EMJAY, shop under Ela Hotel. But again I had custom fitted boots back home heat fitted etc time taken 1.5-2 hrs. feel like slippers. They come with me as well. (Slippers)

S.P.

re: Custom Ski Boot Fitting

OK thanks for the info.

Do you know how much its costs in the UK, roughly?

re: Custom Ski Boot Fitting

Well I went to Ellis Brigham in the Milton Keynes snowdome and bought a new pair of boots. They charged me £65 for the fitted footbeds and they had to stretch one of the boots too. That was 2012.
This is compared to the £300 odd it cost me to have orthotics made by the podiatrist.
Therefore I consider £65 to be good value

Where abouts are you Gareth?

re: Custom Ski Boot Fitting

Any snow and rock do them around £45-00 the pair.

Attwoolls on the A38 very close to J13 on M5 south of Gloucester.

Charge around £25-30 for the insoles and heat and mould them for you.
