The guys at the Lifthouse (Wasatch Blvd and Ft Union) are good. They know what they are doing and I have worked with several of them with great results for various of my family. Another person is John Feig, Canyon Sports Therapy, who fits boots on the side and is a real technical expert used by many local athletes.

if you would have put any effort into searching you would have found numerous threads on the topic.

My experience with them was less than stellar. Bought a pair of boots from them for my daughter. Her feet alternately hurt or went to sleep. Several trips back to them, not fixed. Honestly, I think they sold us boots with shells the wrong size/shape, and no amount of boot fitting/tweaking was going to fix that.

Interesting. i think donkey is bitter b/c he went through the same process and his feet still hurt as well. I recently heard that Zo up at Alta is the man to see. I think starting out with a boot that fits your feet atleast 95% of the way then letting the fitter dial in the rest is always the way to go. Im not looking for someone to work magic, I just heard about few bad jobs lately.
Anyway thanks for the feeedback. In the future I will look to the trusty search bar a little better.

go to the deep powder house at the alta lodge. you'll get one of 3 guys. They are all super dialed. seriously, go here.

^got it, your the third person that has told me that today. Thanks!

Try Earl at Sports Loft. I was there yesterday and he explained a whole lot to me about how my feet work and why he chose the boots that he did. Unfortunately, I can't afford the boots he recommended and custom footbeds, but I'm sure that had I bought them, they would have been great.

[nekbeard]

word. thanks man. im gonna do my rounds soon. im pretty set on the guys up at alta from what i've heard and considering they do alot of work on kryptons. i will report back if I have any news that may benefit anyone else with awkward legs and feet.

Earl fixed Icemans fucked up tootsies most say the lofts the best but $$$
Zo is a good dude and fixed my issues not sure when they open shop though

Earl knows his stuff, but be prepared to have a cashectomy performed on you wallet.

I went to Daleboot last year. They take good care of you and are always available to work on your boots. Only problem I had with the boots is they are soft. I had them rivet the boots and that seems to have fixed my problem.
