Custom Boot Fitting Service
The Outdoor Depot specialises in custom boot fitting, where we measure for width, shape and volume, we then may use volume reducers, tongue depressors and Orthotics to achieve optimal fit and feel. We may also modify the boots by stretching around bunions and to allow space for fit issues such as hammer toe etc. This service is free to all who buy footwear from The Outdoor Depot
