I have struggled with arch pain my entire life skiing due to flat feet. Have had custom food beds made before, couple different boot fitters look at my boots. Nothing really helped, pain persisted. Stopped in recently and got a new footbed made by Derek. Handful of ski days later can say problem is solved, pain free now. Skiing better without being in pain and just having a lot more fun out there.

Incredibly thorough experience getting new boots fitted here. I never knew boots could fit this well and it has completely changed my attitude towards long days in ski boots. Christian and Jeremy are great and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or go back for another pair.

I flew to SLC specifically to see these folks based on reviews from some close friends in the area. I’ve been troubled with boot issues on touring boots for YEARS and it got to the point where I just had to live with blisters if I wanted to go touring. I had visited plenty of other shops to take a look at my boots and none of them were able to fix my issues or offer any recommendations for other boots that may help.After visiting the team here at Sport Loft, I just have to say… WOW. These guys really know what they’re doing. First day skiing in my new boots after getting their orthotics and heat molding and I have never felt so alive. We are up to 5 days now and things are still feeling great. I can’t recommend these guys enough. We’ve taken to calling them the Boot Doctors in our friend group due to how amazing they are at their craft. 10/10 worth every penny.

This place was recommended to me by a friend who had a great experience with boot fitting. I had been struggling trying to make too small of boots that I got for cheap work for a few years, and was hating it. Spending the money on good boot fitting has been worth it. Christian helped me with great touring boots. The custom fitting process was really thorough. They do a great job here!

Go there if you want the best custom boots that will enhance your entire ski experience far more than anything else you'll buy. The reviews of people that are upset because they're not cheap shouldn't be going there in the first place. What they offer can’t be purchased online or at the chain retail shop from a 17-year-old part time employee. You’re paying for a professional boot fitter to spend 3 hours with you to customize a boot that becomes a part of you on the mountain. In addition, they are family owned and operated. The money stays here in Utah! Derek set me up with my first custom fitting and he was amazing. The owners were equally impressive.

There are plenty of places to buy boots that (might) fit, but only a few where a professional fits a boot to your skier profile and foot. The difference between the two is night and day. The guys here know what they're doing and have the service and experience to back it up. The boots I got fit into here are the most comfortable and most performant I've had. I'll 100% be back. Thanks Derek!

Derek has fitted me for 2 boots now and I couldn't be more happy with the customer service. The first boot I got fitted with Derek has been very comfortable and responsive for the last few years. I came in more than a year after getting the boot to create even more space in the toe box and they happily altered it again at no extra charge. The boots they sell are very expensive, but if you can buy a boot online and get the Sport Loft to fit the boot to your feet, it is well worth the money. These guys have over a decade of experience fitting ski boots and it shows.

Come here, get some boots fitted, it's 100% worth it. I was in agony in ski boots for 4 years, thought it was just "how it is", but it's not. Now I could ski all day and not complain-- it's completely changed how I feel about the sport. Feet, shins, calves, knees, everything are fine with the custom fit boots. They really know what they are doing at Sport Loft. I will return if I ever wear these out!

I was in need of some serious boot customization. Went there 5 years ago, and couldn't have found a better place. The level of care and customer service is, I want to say old school. Something you don't see often anymore. Makes me look forward to going there next time. Try it out, see for yourself, I very gladly highly recommend them.

We visited The Sport Loft after every review of boot fitment in the area said they were the best. The best is an understatement! We worked with Bonnie, Derek, and Jeremy as they custom fit our feet to some K2 boots. Here's what we loved:1. Expertise and professionalism. These guys know boots. They could tell by the shape of our feet the problems we were already having and how to fix them.2. Friendly, small business atmosphere. None of that big corporate feel. They learned our names and gave us good education - didn't try to force us into the most expensive boot.We have both worn our boots several times and can tell the custom fit is a world of difference. I had to do a small adjustment on my boots after a few days and Derek was incredibly helpful.

The owner and employees are good people - passionate about skiing.Unfortunately, this is undoubtedly the most expensive ski shop I've ever been too. They are an order of magnitude higher than any other place. In many cases twice the price. Are you paying up for quality? I don't think so. I've found their work to be on par (or in a some cases worse) than other shops. Their technology and tools are the same as everywhere else - there is NO reason to overpay. They inspire confidence the job will be done better here - without actually doing anything differently or better.I'm not suggesting you go to Level 9 - but there are lots of better ski shops with better prices and just as much expertise.So how are they able to charge such high prices for average service? They are INCREDIBLE at sales. They have this whole routine where they say "we know we're more expensive than other shops, and you can definitely go to Level 9 and they will be cheaper, but personally I would never go there for this" - implying that if you actually went somewhere else you don't really care about your skiing. It's genius.Also, he'll try to sell you boots half the time. He pushes specific brands on you regardless of if they are the right boot for you. Oh, and they justify some of their high prices by "including a whole bunch of "extras" - most of which you don't need and all of which are not worth the prices they say they are worth

This was my wife's and my first pair of custom boots. My ski instructor recommended the Sports Loft and I was very impressed. Derek and Jeremy were very thorough, comprehensive, and quite communicative throughout the fitting process, and my boots fit really well. I can wear them pretty much all day without having to unbuckle for relief. I also feel like I have much more ski control than I had before. Finally, when I had a small issue with my boot (I lost a screw), they immediately responded and cot me the correct part with no charge. Both my wife and I are happy customers, and we recommend the Sport Loft unequivocally.

Fantastic experience! I've never been able to find a boot that didn’t cause serious cramping, and hot spots. (I’ve got narrow feet, small ankles, and very flat arches.)I met with Jeremy—he spent so much time measuring, customizing, asking questions, and selecting the perfect boot for me.I was a little unsure of the process because nothing has ever helped in the past. However, once I got home and tried on my old boot in comparison with my new boot I was shocked to feel the difference. Huge improvement! I’m looking forward to finally having a remedy for sore feet and breaking in my new boots!

For anyone who thinks ski boots have to be painful and uncomfortable, do yourself a favor and visit The Sport Loft. I have struggled for years going through 4 different boots before coming here and finally walking away with a boot that not only fits and skis well, but also doesn't leave me in agony.Jeremy and Derek are both supremely knowledgeable (even if I'm a far better skier..) and will spend however long it takes to get you in the right boot.

This was game changer for me. As someone who has very narrow ankles, it is a challenge to find the right boot that holds my heel down.I go through boots every year trying to find a better option for my narrow foot.Then I met Jeremy.He provided me with the most amazing service and a boot that is far superior than anything I’ve owned. My heel is snug inside the pocket with no shifting or excess movement.Yes, the price tag is high but it has completely elevated my skiing experience.I have gone from someone who complains constantly about the pain from my boots to someone who can ski without taking breaks to adjust the bindings.I feel that I can ski more aggressive and more in control because I finally have the right fit.Thanks Jeremy and co! You guys are the absolute best!
