Our Team - staff & technicians, running shoe fitting, BSBA ski boot fitters

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Profeet was founded in 2001 with the sole aim of ensuring everyone could be comfortable and able to perform to the very best of their ability, in their ski boots, running shoes and other footwear.

 

From working closely with both top athletes and manufacturers over a number of years, we understood the importance placed by all involved on getting their ski boots and footwear just right.

 

Athletes routinely had footwear modified and used custom insoles, which they relied on as standard equipment, to improve their comfort, increase their performance and reduce stress and strain on their bodies.

In contrast, we had observed first-hand, people suffering from footwear issues on ski holidays in the alps and while running around the Thames in Fulham and Putney.

 

Profeet was founded to bring the advantages experienced by top athletes to everyone. We have brought together, biomechanical knowledge, advanced analysis technologies, custom insoles and footwear expertise.

 

Fine-tuned into our 3-step process we aim to create a custom ski boot or footwear solution for you while you wait.

Our team

Our footwear staff are active in sport and most have graduated from top universities in the fields of biomechanics, sports science and sports rehabilitation.

Our ski staff are professional ski boot fitters. Many are ski instructors and have a wealth of experience fitting ski boots in-store and in resorts. We all share a common passion for snow sports.
