Any bootfitters on here ?

[hedgehog]

my left left is pretty bowlegged, more so then my right. I have flexon/full tilt boots. I've allready adjusted the "canting" as far in as it will go, i am aware its not a true canting and it hurts the inside of my leg. im wondering what the process and cost of actually having the entire sole of the boot angled inward is, and how it's done, thanks

after a little researched i've realized the canting on the boots is only designed to go with the curve of your leg, does anyone know where i can get true canting job done in the northeast ?

Find a shop that has SBS equipment. That's the best way for canting. http://www.footfoundation.com/

Inside your boots (SBS) is better because then you don't have to put your skis on the right feet. Planing the sole is another way but it wears down.

I had my old ones done and didn't notice any difference but all I needed was 0.5 degree correction in one foot.

take off the toe/heel lugs (or just grind it down a bunch if they don't have removable lugs) the cant it, re attach lugs (with some mods done) or get a set of lugs (usually the Lange vibrum ones these days)

where can i get these lugs and/or shims. i dont mind having a specific ski for left and right

There are two routes you can go, one is to put shims under the bindings, that is much cheaper of a route to go, also much quicker. The downside to that, is you only will have the shims on 1 pair of skis.
The other route you can go is to get your boot soles canted. First you would grind the soles of the boot to the required degrees, then you fit on new heel and toes plates, then you must regrind the noches that lock into the bindings on both the toe and heel, so that they conform to industry and binding standards. Going about this route will allow you to ski any ski with your cants.
At my shop its about $70 to get your skis shimmed, and about $225 to get both boots canted.
