Ski Boot Fitting: Scheiber Sport
Help with Any Boot Problem
Having problems with your ski boots? Whether you have pressure points, burning soles or blisters, the ski boot specialists at Scheiber Sport will adjust your boots for a perfect fit.
Why Adjust Your Ski Boots?
Anyone who has experienced painful feet in ski boots knows why. A ski holiday can quickly become uncomfortable and frustrating if your boots do not fit. Whether you have pressure points, burning soles or blisters, the problems should be addressed as soon as possible so you can continue to enjoy skiing. Besides comfort, a well-fitting ski boot also plays an important role in safety and performance on the slopes.
The Right Ski Boots Matter
Choosing the right ski boots when buying them is important for a good fit. Several factors need to be considered, such as boot size, stiffness, walking mechanisms and the number of buckles. One common difficulty is that boots can feel comfortable when tried on but begin to hurt after the first few turns.
This is where Scheiber Sport comes in. Thanks to our ideally located branches directly on the piste, you can quickly reach any of our 4 shops offering boot fitting. We adjust your boots, and you can test the changes straight away. If necessary, simply visit us again and we can continue the adjustments quickly and easily.

We Use Various Fitting Methods
To foam the liner, the customer steps into the ski boot shell wearing an empty liner. The liner is then filled with foam. It fills the space between the foot and the shell, creating a snug fit. This method is suitable for problem feet and pressure areas covering a larger surface.
Special tools are used to grind, punch and/or stretch the material of the ski boot shell. This method is particularly useful for localised pressure points.
With this method, the entire ski boot, or just the liner or shell, is heated in an oven-like device until the material softens. The customer then steps into the boot, which adapts to the foot as it cools.
If you experience a burning sensation or pain in the soles of your feet, it is advisable to have a bespoke insole made. This involves ‘moulding’ the sole using a special vacuum process and then transferring the mould to an insole.
Fine-Tuning Your Ski Boots
Even small changes to a ski boot can affect how you ski. For these individual adjustments, it is worth consulting one of our knowledgeable staff members.
Important: Take enough time when buying ski boots and, if necessary, having them adjusted. The ski boot is the link between skier and ski and plays an important role in transferring power.
