i dont know why you have a problem with sporting life.  i work there, and i have also worked at skiis and biikes, and sporting life is really based around the customers. everyone who had problems with their armada's last year and returned them got a brand new pair (no questions asked) and they were re-mounted for free, even though its not our fault that its faulty product (its armadas fault but we took responsibility).  sporting life is the easiest place to return anything. you can take anything back, even without a reciept, no tags on it and you could have worn it for a year and they will still take it back. they foucus on their cutstomers so much. we are trained to make sure that customers come first, and you may think that were on comission, but were not. all the staff is out there to help you.
for our boot fit guarantee, you can wear boots for 2 years and decide that they dont fit you right, and they will return them and give you a different boot free, as long as they fit you better.
talk as much shit as you want about sporting life, and maybe they arent as 'core' as corbetts, but i'd say they take care of their customers better than corbetts. i bought my first pair of twins from corbetts and got majorly ripped off, my bindings were used (i was told otherwise), they took A MONTH to mount them cause they said they would mount them for free, and they sold me boots that were WAY too big for me.
so back the fuck off and stop critizing some guy for trying to help you, thats part of his job!
