My Story

A Skier Who Speaks Your Language

"I didn't choose boot fitting. Boot fitting chose me — one painful ski day at a time."

I am not just a boot fitter — I am a lifelong skier who has spent decades carving every kind of terrain imaginable. That passion gave me an intimate understanding of what separates a good day on the mountain from a great one: fit.

After years of struggling with ill-fitting boots myself, I turned frustration into expertise. I trained with the best in the industry and built Boot & Sole to give every skier — beginner to expert — the performance advantage that only a perfectly fitted boot can deliver.

I also understand the athletic body deeply. As an avid cyclist and outdoor enthusiast year-round, I know how biomechanics, alignment, and footwear work together across all sports.

Boot & Sole operates by appointment only, ensuring every client receives complete, undivided attention. No rushed fittings. No junior staff. Just decades of expertise focused entirely on your feet.

🎯
Shell Fit is Sacred
Every fitting starts with the liner out. The shell fit tells the truth about volume and last shape — before any modification begins.
🧬
Anatomy First, Brand Second
The right boot is determined by your foot — not inventory. No commission pressure, no brand loyalty. Only the best fit.
⚡
Performance Is Comfort Done Right
A ski boot doesn't need to hurt to perform. Precise and pain-free aren't in conflict — they're inseparable.
🔁
The Fitting Never Really Ends
Every client gets follow-up. Fine adjustments are part of the process, not an afterthought. Your success on the hill is the only finish line.

Beyond the Boots

An Athlete Who Gets It

Understanding how the human body interacts with equipment is not just a professional skill for Jeff — it's a personal obsession. Year-round athletic pursuits inform every boot fitting.

Whether it's the power transfer in a cycling pedal stroke, the ground contact of a trail run, or the edge engagement of a carved turn — the biomechanical principles overlap. That cross-sport perspective is what sets Boot & Sole apart.
