Belleayre Ski Shop — Hotel in Town of Shandaken

When it comes to boots, Matt and Adam are probably among the best in the region. They diagnosed and corrected some pronation, then heated, fitted, and customized my daughter's Redster boots to the point where they felt like Uggs. (Her words, not mine... probably an exaggeration, but she hated them when we first got them, and after they were fitted she had a really excellent season.)

I have wide, flat, high-instep feet: Adam and Matt got me into some K2s with a BOA. OMG I've never enjoyed skiing as much as this year with boots that didn't hurt my feet AT ALL. From first chair to last chair, my feet were comfortable all day. It was so life changing that we got new boots for my son and my wife too.

With 37 days total on the snow this year, I'd say boots are probably the most important equipment (besides your helmet). Spend the money and the take the time to have them fit properly. Thank you Matt and Adam for your hard work on my and my family's equipment!

Background: I have been patronizing Belleayre Ski Shop for almost a decade (since it was Jimmy's Ski Shop.) Over the years, I've gotten season rentals, a few pairs of skis, boots, and a variety of other equipment. This year, they've really leveled up their boot-fitting skills and capabilities. If you need boots, this is the...

Rude staff, rude owner, I would’ve brought them so much business but now I just bring all my business to the mountain. Brought my skis in to have the bindings checked to see if they’d fit my new boots. Employee spent 10 seconds tops to tell me that they fit, they proceed to hold my skis behind the counter and charge me for absolutely nothing. They clicked the boot into the ski and told me that no adjustments need to be made . Then made me pay them 30$. They did nothing to my skis other than lay their...

I was in dire need for a knowledgeable boot fitter and then I found Adam! He's funny, efficient and knows what he's doing! I explained how the boot was making my right foot hurt (due to my feet morphology) and he did a few tests and figured out what was wrong in less than ten minutes. He installed a few things inside my boots and then molded them with heat. I left feeling like I could walk on my ski boots forever! They fit perfectly now! Thank you so much!!!...
