They changed my life today. I have a clubbed foot on my right side that is 2.5 sizes smaller than my other foot and nearly twice as wide, I also cannot bend that ankle and the entire leg is about 1.5 shorter than the left. As a result I just assumed all ski boots would hurt me for my entire life. I have been skiing with these Rossignol All Track Pro 130s for about a season and they hurt me worse than any other boot before so I felt it was time to do something about it. I have had boot adjustments before but they never seemed to do anything for me until I walked into sports page today.

The Higley family are two generations of enthusiastic expert skiers and they have assembled a friendly and knowledgeable staff. You cant go wrong with this place. If youre planning to ski, you will soon learn that boots which fit properly are more important than the skis themselves. The experienced bootfitters like Rich at Sports Page are the best you will find in this region.
Dont even think about buying boots online. Very poor economy. Buy them from a shop which knows how to fit them properly to your foot. Rich (& Drew) made my skiing much more comfortable and efficient.

Went in to get bindings placed on my new skis and some new boots. The bindings only took a few days to get mounted and are excellent. Rich helped me find boots. I have never had customer service like Rich provided. He performed a custom boot fitting. He examined the shape of my foot and picked out several pairs of boots that would work for my exact foot. I was specifically looking for stiffer boots since I was skiing on 70s from 2009. While trying on boots, he explained that not one issue with a boot should deter me from buying it because he could customize the fit. I really liked a pair of tecnica

Dropped by to check,out ski boots - arthritis in my feet made my old boots to painful to wear as a full time instructor. Rich worked closely with me for over an hour, trying boots on, testing them out, noting pressure points. No pressure sales, no rush to get me to agree to buy a boot so they could move on to the next customer. Once I selected a boot, he made minor adjustments to the shell of one that perfected the fit. It was a pleasure to work with a professional who knows and obviously loves his craft. Will recommend to all. Clients looking for a good boot fitter.

I always feel comfortable in this store. Some other ski shops I have visited in our area just wont let you browse without hounding you, they must work on commission and it always pushes this socially awkward girl right out of the store. Nothing like that here. Always friendly and helpful when needed.

Would highly recommend Sports Page Ski & Patio! Due to a fractured ankle in June, the plate & screws in my ankle were causing extreme pain after a few hours of skiing. I had Rich customize my boot today to perfection! He heated the outer shell & punched out the ankle area then added foam donuts on inner boot which released the compression on the ankle area. His expertise & patience in customizing my boot was amazing! Well worth the 2.5 hour drive from Rome. Thank you Rich!! Happy skiing!

Jim was really helpful and got me setup with a new snowboard, boots and bindings. He also set up my daughter with rentals for the season. Awesome price point on rentals with good equipment. Definitely the way to go for her, 11 years old so will outgrow equipment every season for awhile.
