When I got my canting (Dalbello DRS WC 150, Season 20/21), the bootfitter first checked whether the sole of the blank was even at all. It wasn't, so the first step in his work was to plane the sole flat on the planing bench. Then he set the cuff of each shoe in a neutral position with the help of a laser (cuff canting adjustment), because this was also not delivered from the factory in a neutral position. And he explained to me that this is almost always the case, regardless of the brand. Only then did I put on the boots and the position of my knee center over the shoe was measured, but also with a laser, of course this looks much more important than with a plumb line. With this clip, the question arises whether a meaningful determination of the leg axis is even possible without this preparatory work.

Good point. I agree. I intend to talk with boot manufacturers about seeming lack of quality control of flatness at the factory.

Having the customer put his boots while wearing them into blocks that roll is genius ! Best way to see how he stands.

Yep. Works very well

I am really into improve my carving this season, and my instructor with a racing background ask me to find a good boot fitter and check the boots alignment. I saw berg’s ski shop in Eugene OR is listed as official dealer for you guys. Could them do something like this? After watched some of the videos I almost 100% sure I need some canting(I put more weight on outside foot, outside of my shoes wear a lot more than inside, and I am a little bit bowed leg). Also could atomic boots be canted?

Berg's buys cants from us regularly so they're going to be able to check your stance. However, we don't make cants for any Atomic boots. Atomic is the only brand that has created their own cants. So you'll need to look for an actual Atomic dealer who stocks the Atomic cants. If you already own the Atomic boots, give Berg's a call before you drive there. I don't know all the brands they carry.
