Could not be more satisfied with custom ski boot fitting at Benchmark Outfitters in Cincinnati, Ohio. I had a great experience getting fitted ski boots at BO.

I will continue to use Vertical Drop. Better service, quality control,...

We are so happy we did, we not only saved a ton of money but we also supported a local business. We will never go anywhere else for our...
