Hi everyone, i have recently relocated from sydney to wagga wagga i was wondering if the closest ski shop to me is paul down in albury? I need to get a buckle fixed on one of my boots and maybe try to get the problem of my liner packing out looked at as well.

If it is the correct shell size for you I can tighten up the movement in some areas, but often I get asked to work on boots that have been sold the wrong size, and there is not much that can be done.
I think there are 2 shops in Wagga, but I have no idea if they do boot fitting, I know a lot of people from Wagga come to me.

yeah paul is the go.
there is two snow shops in wagga but as far as i know neither do boot fitting and even if they do, you are far better to travel the 1hr 30 mins to go and see paul.im planing on making a trip to paul for new boots myself. graemlins/skier.gif

Once I get busy in the shop I find it best if you phone ahead and make a time for me to look at boots, as I can only look after one person at a time, and I am almost always doing boot fitting.
For me to offer a good fit in boots I have to carry hundreds of boots so I can offer a choice for each foot shape, I don't think the Wagga shops carry that many boots. The tools and the training required to fit boots well is very expensive and takes many years to build up, so I am not sure who runs the Wagga shops but I think they have only been in the industry a few years, Lachie who was there for about 30 years sold out around 2 seasons ago from memory.
