Ski boot fitting in Colchester, Essex. Getting a ski boot that is right for you is so important for a successful skiing experience. Ski boots are the first point of contact between your feet and your skis. At Fluid Lines we endeavour to help to find the best fitting ski boot for you.
What we can do for you?
- Measure your feet to make sure that you are in the correct boot size and width for your feet.
- Tailor ski boots to your feet by using either trim to fit or custom footbeds which help to better support your feet.
- Heat and custom mould the inner liners of the ski boot to your feet reducing the ‘breaking in time’.
- Stretch the outer shell of the ski boot to accommodate small foot quirks and bunions to eliminate pressure points
Aftercare
If you purchase a pair of boots from us we will endeavour to make any changes to the boots so that they continue to fit well. We can re-mould the liner and stretch the boots as much as needed, completely free of charge.
Boot Warmers
If you suffer from cold feet or struggle with poor circulation, boot heaters may be an option to consider. In most cases they consist of a small element that sits under the foot and a battery unit which fixes onto the back of the boot. We sell products from a brand call Lenz.
Boot Stretching
No two feet are the same (even our own!). When choosing a boot you may find that it fits 99% perfect but there may be a few pressure points where it pinches or is slightly tight. Working with our technicians we can warm and stretch the boot to relieve pressure, for example around the toe area just to create that little bit of extra room.
When you buy boots from us, stretching is included in the price. However, if you purchased your boots from another shop we are are happy to help, but there will be a service charge for the work we do.
If you have purchased your boots elsewhere but still need the liner remoulding or a boot stretching, see prices below.
- Reheating Liner and fitting: £40
- Shell stretch (per boot): £20
Footbeds
How do Superfeet footbeds work?
Footbeds inside your ski boots not only provides added comfort it also stabilises the foot and improves posture which in turn can help improve your technique whilst combating foot fatigue. Superfeet insoles help to adapt the flat, 2 dimensional midsoles of your ski boots to your 3 dimensional foot. The distinct Superfeet shape helps to stabilise the foot, while the deep, structural heel cup and full-length foam provides support and control.
We offer both trim to fit footbeds and custom footbeds from Solemate.
Solemate Custom Insoles
Solemate insoles are fully customised, 3D-printed footbeds designed to match the exact shape and biomechanics of your feet. Instead of using a standard template, Solemate builds each pair uniquely for the individual. Because the design comes directly from your 3D scan, the insole matches your foot far more accurately than traditional custom orthotics or off-the-shelf insoles.
How They’re Made
1. 3D Foot Scan
We begin by scanning your feet using the Solemate software in store. The scan captures your foot shape, arch height, pressure zones, and alignment with extremely high accuracy.
2. Digital Biomechanical Analysis
Once your scan is uploaded, Solemate’s specialists analyse your foot posture and movement. They then design a personalised insole in CAD software, adjusting elements like support level, contouring, heel shape, stiffness.
3. 3D Printing
Your custom design is produced in the UK using advanced 3D printers. The insoles are printed in a recyclable, durable TPU material that provides both structure and flexibility. After printing, they’re refined, quality-checked, and shipped to the store or directly to you.
