i've always wanted to make some fake turf dual purposed: ride on it when i want to, and practice golfing on it when i want to.  I wonder if there's any that could do both?  They do seem quite different, but i've never gotten to really inspect the snowboarding stuff up close.]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 14:42:38 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51500&PID=1244024#1244024 Gear Talk : Ask other riders : ThirtyTwo Fit Kit, Where to buy http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53862&PID=1244006#1244006 Author: Alkasquawlik

1. This question is in a thread where no one is talking about other boots, or Vans, or anything..

2. ThirtyTwo makes numerous different models of boots. They are not all going to fit the same as each other. They are not all going to fit the same as Vans. Your foot is completely different than someone else's. You are going to have to try on the specific 32 boot and compare it to your Vans AW to make a decision.

dead serious he said that, he's like yeah we just tell people to wear socks when fitting them.

I might go back there and find some other guy and doit again

Coming from someone who's worked in shops for the past 3 years, the guy is full of shit, doesn't know anything, or a combination of the two.
Go back in and ask for someone else, and if they try telling you that again, just be adamant that you want the toe caps on. I assure you that they aren't "stupid" or "very old technology". I fitted numerous people this season at Northstar with those caps.


ok will do, thanks for that]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 11:22:00 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53862&PID=1243998#1243998 Gear Talk : Ask other riders : Boot fitter melbourne http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53883&PID=1243997#1243997 Author: hockysa

Hey Forum,

Anyone know of any boot fitters in Melbourne??

I've got a pair of Thirty Two boots which are apparently the widest boots I can buy and it's still not wide enough. I'm a size 8US in length and a size 11US in width, which when/if I'm fortunate enough to get 4E width shoes I'm an 8.5US

I've read about boot fitters from a few searches, and also a guy at Altitude Hawthorne told me last year it would be possible to stretch / widen the shell of the boot but we tried a few other options first which showed improvement but still not perfect.

Now unfortunately I went to Altitude today and it seems like the Hawthorne store has closed shop and have probably relocated again, but I don't know where.

Was wondering if anyone could help me out in my quest to make some boots fit my stupid feet.


Cheers,
Benjamin]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 11:20:52 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53883&PID=1243997#1243997 Gear Talk : Ask other riders : ThirtyTwo Fit Kit, Where to buy http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53862&PID=1243996#1243996 Author: Alkasquawlik

Anyone know where I could potentially get custom made boots?
or even customise/alter my current boots to make them wider??]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 10:24:48 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53862&PID=1243988#1243988 Gear Talk : Ask other riders : HELP!

if that's what the rabbit is for it looks like it's in the wrong spot, should be inside the contact points, otherwise looks sick though, did you have part in designing the shape etc as well or just the graphic?]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 03:09:31 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53799&PID=1243960#1243960
