I bought new boots from A Racers Edge and was unhappy with the process. Most of the negative…read morereviews seem to be from people who didn't buy new or tried to walk-in without an appointment. I hope my input is more useful for anyone else considering a new purchase, and maybe it can help the shop owner identify some gaps in quality control. *Purchased on 4/7, follow up on 4/11. Hawx Ultra 110 Boa @ $979* I know this store probably encounters a lot of entitled tourists, but that's not who I am. I'm a bit shy and easy going, and sometimes you just don't quite realize how bad an experience was until afterwards. In retrospect I should have bought elsewhere, but was excited to get boots and hit the slopes quickly. That's where I'm coming from and why I went through with a purchase I didn't feel good about. The guy helping me had an attitude. He wasn't flat out rude, but definitely had an air of superiority to him. He's a local, expert skier, combined with a lifetime of experience, and I was just another tourist he had to help. It was a dismissive attitude and every question was answered as if it was a dumb one. He talked to the other workers just as much as he talked to me, if not more. I got the impression the shop owner was not around on those days. He asked me some basic questions without much follow up and made some incorrect judgments based on that limited info. He quickly measured my foot, and told me what I suspected, I have flat low volume feet on the narrow side with some pronation. I told him it makes sense because most of my running shoes are LV stability shoes. He pulled out some fancy, high end boots to try first. They felt good and it was even from a line of boots I had noted as a possible choice while doing my own research. He then pulled out a much stiffer (race?) boot which I knew wasn't going to be good. The 3rd pair was a MV boot which I knew probably wouldn't work either since we knew my foot was LV. To recap, I was asked limited questions, quickly measured, and tried on 3 boots total. The second two seemed to be ones he knew would be wrong for me and push me towards the first more expensive ones. This was nothing like the boot fittings I've heard of. People told me about trying on tons of boots, working to replicate perfect positioning, and spending 2 hours finding their ideal fit. I was in a bit of shock when he seemed finished with me after I tried on the first boots a second time. My fitting was wrapping up after only 30 minutes and no other options were being presented. I ended up paying $900 for a boot that was being sold for $500-600 at every other place I could find. I didn't realize this until I got back to my room and looked it up. Immediate buyer's remorse sunk in. I just didn't have the nerve to return them at that point. I hoped he would make it right during the follow up. I would have been satisfied paying the full MSRP price difference if I was receiving a true boot fitting experience and quality time towards a perfect fit, but I didn't receive either of those things. It's also important to mention that he misquoted the boot for $800 until we reached the register, casually noting the difference. During my follow up I told him my inner ankle bones were rubbing. He said a footbed might help, but he could try one thing first. I saw my opening to mention the price difference. I said "I know I'm paying for your expertise and time, but noticed a $300-400 difference. Do you think you could give me a discount on a footbed or anything to help me feel a bit better about that?" He rudely dismissed it and said "well if you wanna buy the wrong boot somewhere else and bring it here it would cost you hundreds for me to fix it. I quickly dropped it, but disagree with everything he said. I could've easily bought the same boot based on my own research. He didn't do any worthwhile alterations or add any value suggesting a line of boots I was already eyeing. He unscrewed the boot boards and tossed the screws aside, "ah you don't need those." Even if they were not important, I would have preferred he kept them as the manufactured intended or at least saved the screws. He duct taped some inner heal wedges while distractedly chatting with the other workers. The right felt a bit better, but the left felt worse. He replied, "That's not possible cause the inserts make it so your ankle leans the other way now." He didn't try to address the issue any further. The next day I skied for an hour before having to stop and check them. I found the issue... It was completely out of place. The pictures attached show how I found them and the lack of effort in the work. I borrowed tape and fixed them myself. 2 hours wasted on my final day. TLDR; didn't get a proper boot fitting experience, over paid by around 40%, had to fix sloppy alteration work myself, probably got the wrong boot. Overall really bummed at the waste of money and time, but mostly just disappointed I didn't get a real boot fitting experience.

Not only were they prompt and polite, the equipment itself was top-notch. (I may have told my bf I wanted to keep the skis nearly twenty times over the course of the weekend.) When I was ready to check out of our hotel, I just gave them a call and they came within the hour! Excellent service, excellent equipment! Takes the hassle out of having to shop around because they bring everything to you, size and fit you, then take it all away when you're ready.

Not only is he an extraordinary boot fitter, but he's also just an amazing, positive person who's clearly passionate about making your ski experience the best it can be. He encouraged me to visit several other shops to try on boots they didn't carry, and after going to multiple places, it was obvious--Tim was by far the most knowledgeable and the most helpful. I originally came in with seasonal rentals, and he didn't even care whether I bought boots from him--he just wanted me in the right ones. He even called around to other local shops to find the exact pair I wanted and sent me there, knowing he'd lose the sale. That kind of integrity and dedication is rare. Tim made a customer for life. I can't wait to work with him again when I'm ready to buy skis. Highly, highly recommend!

I heard great things about Tom, the bootfitter at the Beaver Creek Sports Village location. i decided to try him out. In March 2025, I bought new boots which he recommended, and paid for a custom footbed and bootfitting. First day on the snow was great. I brought the boots back to Tom to adjust buckles, to snug in the toe box, and to fix two small hotspots on my shinbones. The boots were ready the next morning. They fit perfectly. I have never been more snug or comfortable, and I am surprised the two go together. Footbeds and other alterations have me canted forward in a perfect position. Toes touch the boot toe but do not mash, and the heels cannot lift. I was walking with them tightened with no pain or shin bang. Skiing control improved. Boot price without the footbed and fitting was maybe $50 higher than from an online retailer, but the shop will adjust them for life if asked. I felt the footbed and other charges were reasonable. I researched Surefoot as well. All in, my boots cost about 50% as much as Surefoot. I couldn't be happier, and I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than Tom.
