The bench · By appointment

Bring the boot. We'll read your gait like a map.

Fittings happen on your feet and under load. Walk in with the boots you already own, or start from nothing at all — either way we begin by watching you walk.

  1. 01

    Foot & Gait

    Length, width and volume, and how you roll through a step. We watch you walk before we hand you anything.

  2. 02

    Shape & Fit

    Boots brought out in your size, in the shapes that suit your foot rather than the shapes that sell.

  3. 03

    Lacing & Volume

    Where the pressure should sit and where it should not. Adjusted until the boot disappears on your foot.

  4. 04

    Load Test

    Pack on, weight in, walking it out before you commit to anything.

Backpack Fitting

Torso length, hip belt placement, and where the load actually transfers. Bring your kit and we'll pack it with you.

Rentals & repair · Same counter

Rent what you don't own yet. Repair what you already trust.

Two services, one stop. Reserve camp gear for a trip you have planned, or bring in the pack, boot or tent you've been using for years.
