Brands

For the 23/24 season, Boulder Orthotics is stocking Tecnica boots, as well as several bootfitting-related products to help complement Heather’s skills and expertise. This includes a selection of Intuition liners, various fit aids, replacement parts, Hotronics heating elements, and more.

If Heather doesn’t think a Tecnica boot is the right match for you, she will work with you to find and fit the boot that is. See below for more details on appointment scheduling and the general process at Boulder Orthotics.

Services

Heather has over 25 years in the ski industry, with previous experience fitting at Neptune Mountaineering and Larry’s Bootfitting, by Larry Houchen, in Boulder, CO. She grew her skills under the direct mentorship of Bob Egeland, one of the best bootfitters in the US and retired Masterfit University instructor.

Heather offers everything from custom bootfitting, insoles and custom orthotics, boot repair and replacement parts, stance assessment, traditional boot modifications, and more.

Depending on your needs and current boot situation, the process at Boulder Orthotics can look a couple of ways.

For someone with an existing boot, the process generally looks like scheduling a “Ski Orthotic w/ Bootfit” appointment. This is a two-hour appointment wherein everything is included at a set price: orthotics, liner molds, and boot modifications.

You can also schedule a 1-hour evaluation appointment to work with Heather on what the best approach might be.

If you require a new boot, you can schedule an evaluation appointment with Heather. Depending on how that process goes, she might have just the boot for you, or she will work with you through the process of finding the right boot. If you pay for the 2-hour “Orthotic w/ Bootfit” appointment, 2 recheck/adjustments are included in the initial price.

You can also visit Heather or Ann for “a la carte” bootfitting adjustments such as punches and liner molds.

Don’t forget that a properly supported foot is invaluable in not only ski bootfitting but also much more than that. Whether you are looking to address a specific issue with a prescribed orthotic (from your doctor), or just benefit from a neutral foot position in something as rigid as a ski boot, a custom insole is essential.

But when it comes to cycling, hiking, skating, or other outdoor activities, there is still plenty of reason to give your feet the care they deserve, and an appointment at Boulder Orthotics is an excellent place to start.
