JollyJake99 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The title says it all. The report in the paper says they will be closing in June & that Buckman's will operate at the McArthur road location from Oct thru March. But seriously, where would be the best place to go to get boots fitted? I was planning on a new pair for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycore Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Get your boots fitted at Buckmans new Whitehall location. I assume they'll probably be at least as good and maybe hire their boot guy Brad. Can't vouch personally, but I've heard a LOT of good things about Salters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMSKI Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just got some new boots and custom orthotics at salters a couple weeks ago. George Salter does the fitting himself and has many years of experience. They were written up in skiing magazine a bunch of years back. Havent had a chance to break in the boots yet, but its clear they know what they are doing over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyv11 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Can't vouch personally, but I've heard a LOT of good things about Salters X2 Salters is located on ridge pike near Norristown/Collegeville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootDKJ Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Henio's has a really good reputation. I know a few people who have gotten their boot fitting done there and they are pretty happy with the results. I checked them out late in the season last year and while thorough in the boot fitting, their offerings were slim due to the time of year.. D&Q in South Jersey is also susposed to be decent but I don't have other feedback on them. Edited April 8, 2011 by RootDKJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryHugo Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Got fitted at Salters a few weeks ago, and they did a great job, especially with the biomechanics of skiing and making orthotics. They don't have a shitload of stock or anything, but they do boots well. And yeah, that's right. I got ski boots. Look out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momskeeztoo Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 So sorry Nestors is closing, glad I got new boots this year. We always got all our stuff there and we were always happy with how we were treated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyJake99 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions!! The last five boots were all fitted by Peter Nestor himself, so those who know can understand my worry. I don't think I'll go as far as the ones in New Jersey.

Ride Delaware ? Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Look at the bright side, at least you guys have some options... Even in Southern Jersey. Closest ski shop to me that is a full service shop is in Newark, DE, nearly 1.75 hours away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
