Hard to fit then easy to love - A true Ski/riders loveshack by Carl R. at InsiderPages

I wouldn't be skiing if it wasn't for Leif and the crew at the Strand. No doubt about it. years... More 10 months ago

I wouldn't be skiing if it wasn't for Leif and the crew at the Strand. No doubt about it. years ago as I struggled to find a boot to fit a stupid high arch, stupid wide feet that pron-ate and are actually different sizes (ugh), no shop around Boston could help and at least two said Strolz boots - Strand. So I went. I paid $600 for Strolz, custom fit back in 1996, custom shells mismatched insides to match my mismatched feet and I've been thrilled ever since - that's right..still skiing them and I ski as much if not more today than back then. Strolz are not cheap and are now probably around $900 but critical to understand...it truly is a custom boot and they have stood behind it as it has LIFETIME FIT guarantee. If you have trouble feet...I mean from one spot to many, this is the boot and the place.Leif has spent countless hours tweaking my fit over the years as both boot and foot have changed over the years. I can't impress upon anyone enough that this is the place to go for gear, expert opinion knowledge on maker and method and in the fast paced ever changing world of gimmicks, gear changes and consolidation of makers in the world of ski equip....THIS IS what you want to know about when you shop. This is a guts not glory shop where Ptex and wax permeate the air and the glint of the last ski runs for all comers can be smelled and felt in the air. Strands, like any family owned shop is proof that not everyplace will suit everyone but also why they are still pumping out properly equipped skiers decades after they opened....you wont find 60 types of spider wear, like those shops that rely on tuna with good taste, but the very best essential - ahhh tuna that tastes good. If you want the latest Aspen wear this isn't the place. If you want some gently used gear for your 8 year old, a brand new set up with the knowledge and backup for you, or a boot fit that consistently ma Hide
