Ski Boot Secrets from Julen Sport Zermatt - With Master Boot Fitter Tim

🎿 CarveCast Episode 25 — Boot Fitting With Tim In Zermatt

Ski performance starts at the foot. In this episode I sit down inside Julen Sport in Zermatt with Tim, widely considered the best boot fitter in the valley. We dive deep into comfort, liner choice, foot scanning and why your ski boot fit might be holding you back more than you think.

We recorded this right in the shop surrounded by boots, shells, liners and a 3D printer building insoles behind us. This is a real mountain floor conversation filled with practical info for every skier from first time boot buyers to high level riders who want precision and support dialled perfectly.

We look at ZipFit liners, ramp angle, heel hold, 3D pressure scanning and why so many skiers unknowingly ski in boots that are too big. Tim explains how he fits beginners, advanced skiers and racers and why there is no single perfect boot, only the correct fit for the person wearing it.
