    Wheres Larry?

    Does anyone know if Larry the boot fitter is closed down for the season? Or when he'll be opening back up?

    I wanted to see him around this time last year, and I never was able to get a hold of him.... You can try, but I bet he's done.

    I need to see him too, so I know how you're feeling! My heals were hurting SO bad on Holy Cross yesterday that it brought me to tears!

    Larry's been around intermittently but he's getting in trouble with his summer job so i think it's finally quits 'til oct.

    Homi- I'm in the same boat as you and spoke with (a dude, likely larry) on friday who told me to come up on Monday evening to get checked out as he was not going to be around all weekend. I'm driving all the way from the tech center at rush hour so none of you motherfuckers better hose me!

    Lee is out until the 3rd of May.

    The girl I emailed at Scarpa said that Neptunes might be able to handle such a repair as well.

    Just talked to him on the phone. He's not doing anything w/ boots anymore until the fall. Done done done.

    Dammit, that's not what I wanted to hear.
    So which fitter is the best bet to get a couple pressure points taken care of in the near future?

    I know there has been a lot of hate on Neptunes lately but Chuck Byrd works out of there (don't think he is an actual employee) and know his shite. Great guy to "boot". Look him up if you looking for an alternative in Boulder.

    I had Bent Gate mold some boots once. They didn't know what the fuck they were doing. Maybe I just got the wrong person.
    I go there for most everything else, but not bootfitting.

    Sounds like Lee will be my man, seen his name pop up on here before. Thanks.

    Lee knows his poop for sure. Long as after the third is okay then that'll be good.

    thankfully, Larry took care of my buckles today.

    Just went to Neptunes and spent 2 hours there w/ a guy named Matt, working on my boots. Totally different philosophy than Larry. Hopefully his doings will work for me! Unfortunately, the things that Larry was doing wasn't helping or made things worse. Sometimes its good to have some other opinions.
