About Us
Our History
20+ Years of Bootfitting.
Boot Solutions Founder, Dr Ned Buckley, began his bootfitting career in London in 2001. A lifelong passion for skiing quickly developed into a passion for bootfitting, taking him on a journey across the globe, where he spent the next 14 years refining his craft and gaining experience in the industry. After several years in the industry, Ned had a desire to take his bootfitting to a new level.
After several years in the industry, Ned had a desire to take his boot fitting to a new level. He had a great deal of technical knowledge of ski boots and how to custom fit them for different foot types, but he yearned to fully understand the biomechanics and anatomy of the lower limb so he could offer a truly holistic boot fitting service for his clients. This led him to complete a Podiatric Medicine degree at the University of Western Australia, followed by a Doctorate of Clinical Podiatry. Ned now operates Ned Buckley Podiatry in West Perth as a Specialist Podiatric Surgeon. Ned is also a trainer with Masterfit University and travels to Melbourne annually to run a boot fitting course.
