Heino’s Ski & Cycle

The employees are incredibly knowledgeable and thorough with finding you the perfect boots. I went last fall and waited all season to review. Absolutely worth the drive from NYC.

Greg and his team are awesome. They listened to my needs and made me a boot that fit properly and was comfortable. Definitely worth the trip. I highly recommend going to them for a boot fitting and avoiding the big box stores. Prices are comparable but the level of service you receive is far superior.

I was recommended to Heino’s by a bunch of friends, and I am very happy they sent me there. My wife and I both got boots fitted by Greg, who is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and we are both happy with them.
I also recently had a warranty issue with one of the skis I bought from them. With in 5 days, I was back on new skis with no problems at all.
I highly recommend them for any skiing related purchases!

Have been going here for 20 plus years. Have not been here in about 2 years but when we walked in and saw all the familiar faces – especially the owner Gregg it was like we were there yesterday. A friendly handshake and a bit of small talk goes a looooong way. Rented snowboard and boots for season for Marissa. Prompt knowledgeable service is what it’s all about and that’s what you get here. They fitted her boots and answered all our questions. Thank you guys for the service. See you soon.

A pretty solid place to rent and buy ski stuff. George is considered to be a solid authority in boot fitting. These guys also carry good ski and snowboarding accessories like jackets gloves socks etc.
Highly recommended if u plan to rent or buy any skiing gear

I heard about Heino’s and particularly about Greg through numerous skiing forums. All the rave was completely justified, this was one of the most informative and enjoyable shopping experiences I have had.
I made an appointment for my girlfriend and I and Greg worked with both of us at the same time. He explained how our feet compared to the average skier out there and brought out boots for us to try. We never felt rushed or up-​sold in anyway. I would highly recommend Greg and his ski shop anyone looking to make the investment in boots and custom foot-​beds

Best ski shop in the tri state area hands down. Best boot fitters and amazing staff. This place is a core ski shop!!!

Six years ago I fell from a ladder and received a compound fracture of my left ankle. I have been skiing for over 40 years. When I broke my ankle I was told not to ski for a year and after that not to buy new boots for at least six months to a year thereafter. The compound fracture after several operations left my anklebone protruding at a odd angle. It constantly rubbed against the side of my boot.
I first attempted to purchase new boots at Hunter Mountain ski shop. The woman there had showed me Full Tilt ski boots. She did not have a size that fitted my foot. I finally purchased Full Tilt boots at another ski shop but to fit my ankle the boots had to be size larger than what I would normally wear.
After three years of wearing the Full Tilts they started to irritate my ankle to the point it became very painful to ski. After returning from a trip to British Columbia I decided to buy a new set of boots through a fitter. A skiing buddy had recommended Sure Foot and I visited them in NYC. When I went, I brought my old ski boots. The young woman at the shop was not interested in examining the boots or my feet. They were willing to order boots that they thought would fit me however, they wanted me to first purchase one of their custom-​made inserts. Luckily I looked further.
I searched on the Internet until I came upon Heino’s and make an appointment with Greg. I came to his shop with my old boots. The first thing that he did was to make a thorough examination of both of my feet paying special attention to the size and location of the pertruding bone. He told me that the Full Tilt were a good recommendation however, the lining adjacent to my anklebone had worn down and it was not providing sufficient padding to prevent irritation from the shell of my ski boot. He could remedy this by ordering a new insert and by blowing out the side of the shell to give my ankle more room. However he noted that the boots were at least one size to large. He further recommended new ski boots which would not only have the inserts molded to my ankle but also the shell would be vacuum molded to fit the contours of my ankle. The boots that he recommended were made by Fisher (Vacuum Fisher Rangers).
After ordering the boots he spent about an hour and a half going through the process that molded them to the contours of my feet. This week I tried out my new boots with a set of new skis. All I can say is I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to ski anymore before I went to see Greg. Five stars is my rating. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has similar problems.

I decided to use them based on online reviews. I made a call and was told it was best make an appointment when I had several hours available for the boot fitting process. This was the best investment in time I have make in a while.
Greg spent the time first to understand how and where I skied and then he started to measure. The result is a great fitting boot
To sum Greg up is he spent time talking me you of a more expensive boot and into a boot he felt would be better for me and he was right.

This is the best retail establishment I’ve ever visited. This team of professionals clearly know all their products and are the best boot fitters in the business. The fitting I got from them vastly improved my skiing technique. A great fitting boot can make a huge difference in your technique and makes skiing all that more enjoyable. Highly recommend a visit and easily accessible from the city. I had an epic season east to west thanks to Greg and his team. Thanks

Small but very good ski and bike shop. As more of a skier than a cycler my review is for the ski part. Due to its size the selection isn’t huge, but it is always well thought out with popular models of the more popular brands. Clothing can be a bit pricy.
Greg is a master boot fitter. Only problem is that you don’t always get Greg. Some of the others are pretty good but sometimes you run into a younger guy who is obviously just learning. A few years back one of the younger guys set me up with a pair of boots that were just not appropriate for my skill level. They were way too soft and more of a beginner to low intermediate boot. He insisted that they were good recreational racing boots so I took him at his word. Right off the bat I knew he was wrong, but I skied them three days, as I was away for a long weekend and had little choice. I returned them a bit scratched and worn from three days of walking around the lodge and they refunded my purchase no questions asked, and Greg set me up with a perfect boot, all the while apologizing for the inconvenience.
If you have kids, ask about their seasonal rental packages, they are very reasonable and you don’t have to shell out a ton for equipment that will be outgrown in a season or two.

I went to see Greg for a boot fitting after reading a forum post somewhere on the internet that recommended him. I live in Manhattan, but I heard such great things about Greg that I figured it would be worth the trip. It was.
Greg is a master boot fitter and knows what he is talking about. I’m an expert skier — been skiing for 20 years — and Greg is the kind of guy who knows what your type is when you walk in the door.
He doesn’t just measure your feet, but he also examines them. He checks out your arch, what kind of protrusions you have, if any, and much more. He knows his gear, too. Based off of your foot dimensions, he’ll have an idea of what type of boot to put you in. On top of that, he spends serious time with you, if you are committed to the process. I went to him for a total of two sessions and each session lasted a little over two hours.
I told him that I had rented a car and drove out to NYC for the appointment, and he understood my situation, was appreciative, and wanted to make things more convenient for me when he could. Honestly, superb customer service.
I haven’t been able to ski in the boots yet, since I bought them at the end of the season for the end-​of-​season discount. If I don’t come back to edit my response, and tell you that the boots are brutal, then you can assume they are fantastic.

One of the better local ski shops out there… Ski selection is basic, but enough — it’s a small shop, but they do have the best boot selection and fitting I’ve seen… They will even custom mold boots to fit your feet — great for those with odd shaped or wide feet…

Great customer service. Greg spent a lot of time listening to my needs then explain his suggestions so I could make an informed choice on my new skis-​atomic blackeyes 174s. He spent 2+ hours in the 1^st and 2^nd fitting to craft the best fitting boots I have ever had! This year I am going to own the mountain.
The ski season is over and I can say Greg’s equipment suggestions were dead on — I can now ski anything at our home resort and am itching to take the family to a BIG resort — steeper, faster, harder.
Why don’t I live in Colorado?
