Ellis Brigham - Manchester

Zack is a legend - thank you so much for your time and quality advice about ski boots, bindings and ski's as well as a good, fast snowboard. best of luck with your new job zack, thank you 😁

Went for a ski boot fitting, the chap who helped me was lovely and patient and asked all the right questions to get me to think about the fit of the boot. i can't remember his name however he was a guy who had at one point broken like half the bones in his body and had dodgy knees because of it. ive had issue with painful ski boot rentals every single time i go, so i finally made the desicion to buy to try and help the problem. he got me fitted, and whilst i still had reservations as they were still a bit tight the first time i tested them, but time i went on my holiday, half way through the first morning, they were the comfiest boots i've ever worn. i was so happy i could cry, for once not out of pain. the boots fit perfectly, no pinching, no shin bang, no issues. for the first time ever i managed the whole holiday skiing 7-8h a day, without complaining of pain as soon as i put them on, or having to stop earlier than i would have liked. very happy with the quality and knowledge provided by elis brigham ski boot fitting service at manchester deansgate shop.

Good friday 07/04/23: not my first visit to ellis brigham. over the years i have been many times for myself, with friends and for the scouting association. however, today's review is purely down to the exceptional level of service received from the manager, about an issue i had about my most recent pair of walking shoes (purchased february 2023). having only had the north face hedgehog fastpack hiking shoes for a month, worn everyday during a month tour of asia, they became cracked and creased across the top toes. my last pair lasted 5 years. although not a manufacturing defect, i was told), the fit was not quite right and thus contributed to the wear & tear. my feet were measured (for the first time in years) and an alternative pair were offered. having tried on 3 pairs, i decided on the north face lightwave future light walking shoes fit the best.

Came in for some climbing shoes, i was assisted by andy who helped me find the best pair for comfort/performance. very friendly and really knew his stuff! can't wait to try out my new jokers!
