IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT
Do it right. We call it bootfitting as opposed to "selling boots" It's a crazy thought that your boots should FIT, eh?
We start with a volume assessment of your foot, we'll show you footbeds, we'll explain socks and why some are great and some are less that great. THEN we'll show you boots. AND we'll sell you the right size. And then, if you take our recommendation (with a footbed), we'll guarantee the bootfit for 3 THREE years! The best bootfit in the business, period.
At Gord's we understand that it all begins with the boot. Hey, admit it, you could ride any board. Even your sister's board. But try to shove your size 12's in her boots... No dice, dude.
So we start with your feet, then work our way up.
That's as much as we'll say here... After all, why give the competition a road map if they're completely lost on this topic. You would not imagine how often in a day we get told "but I was at Depot Mart and they said I was a size 13" when in fact the customer was a size 10. It happens lots. Too often, actually.
Just drop on by, (and bring your bindings, they affect the fit of boots BIG TIME) we'll spend the time we need to educate you, enlighten you and most importantly FIT you.
If you did buy your boots at the Giant House of Discount Gear, no worries, we can make your feet happier, there isn't much we can't do to re-fit a boot to work with your feet PROVIDED YOUR BOOTS ARE NOT TOO BIG. Just call, make an appointment with one of our certified bootfitters and bring your bindings. We'll help you be happy.
You'll thank us... and, hopefully, you'll buy your boots from us... For more on bootfitting, click here for [more]

GET THE RIGHT BOARD
 We all know the guy who insists on riding a snowboard that’s at least two inches taller than he is. “Dude,” you say, “why is your board so long?” He asks why yours is so short. There’s a moment of silence. Why is your board so short? If you’ve been snowboarding for a long time, you most likely have tried different lengths, eventually deciding on your current choice. However, if you’re fairly new to snowboarding, chances are you just took the first board in the shop that was in your price range and matched your boots. This can lead to some seriously incorrect sizing, which is why we’re here to give you the lowdown on how to correctly size a snowboard.
One of the first things to think about is width. This often gets overshadowed by the issue of length, but is equally—if not more—important. The first question to ask a prospective snowboard buyer is what size feet they have. If you buy a board that is too narrow, you can have toe or heel drag, which makes turning difficult. However, if you have a board that is too wide, you’ll have trouble controlling your turns. Set your boot on top of your board as if it were in a binding. If your heel and toe are both within a half-inch of the edge, then the width is correct.
Next is length. Snowboard length is measured in centimeters and can usually be found somewhere on the topsheet. To see if a snowboard is a good size for you, stand the board up lengthwise and see if the board falls somewhere between your chin and nose. If it does, it means that it’s a pretty safe size to try out. Eventually, you’ll decide if you want a longer or shorter board based on your riding style and the terrain you ride. For instance, if you ride mostly powder, you’re going to want a longer board, whereas someone who rides a lot of park will most likely opt for a shorter one.
All right. Now come and get yourself a snowboard. |

IT'S FREAKING
BOOTFITTING!
Come on! you gonna stand there and get hosed like that? Wherever you're buying your boots, they GOTTA give a sh_t. Somebody's gotta do it right and we're that place. We could write it down, explain to you how a boot should fit (no, they shouldn't fit like your skate shoes) and explain to you step by step how to get properly fitted for snowboard boots but then we'd just be training the other shops on how to bootfit properly... and while we're nice guys and all, we're not THAT nice!
