Vibram and sole repair in Yurp?

[llyon]

Im wondering if any of the yurp mags know of some shops that would either install vibram soles on a ski boot or beef up a worn out toe lug with more material. At the moment Im in Paris, but will be in Verbier for the winter, so close proximity to either of those two locations would be ideal.

There is a bootfitters/coblers in Martigny that does just what your looking for. If memory serves they are only open a few days a week. More a mountaineers place that a skiers but they really know their stuff. Can't remember the exact location, but pretty near the town center. Not much of a walk from the train station. Martigny is about 30 min from Verbier on public transport or 20 min drive on an empty road

In Paris : A la Ville - A la Montagne should serve you well.
3 boulevard Richard Lenoir 75011. (Near Bastille).

Edit : Do not bother with le Vieux Campeur or La Haute Route : They work with Deuso for those kind of jobs. AFAIK he is the only one in the Paris area.

seconded, a few meters from the train station. Not exactly cheap, though.
