Having some of the widest feet ever to step into Intuition, I’m mind blown at the fantastic job Tom did on my boots. My boots are beyond comfortable, I actually have control of my skis and my legs don’t feel like they have a blow torch on them constantly anymore. Thank you so much Tom, you’ve changed skiing for me!
