I published a Revelation in 2016 titled, Tales from the Boot Bench: Between Two Extremes, in which I related the stories of three different bootfit customers.  The two who exemplified the bottom of the service universe are still very much with us today; the exemplar of perfection turned out to be so rare he never actually materialized. Perhaps by re-telling their tales, we can help a few skiers avoid the worst pitfalls awaiting the prospective ski boot buyer.
