Kai Palkeinen working on a pair of custom fitted ski boots at his new shop Stance Performance in Collingwood, Ontario.

It all begins with an idea.

Kai Palkeinen knows all about feet! Stance Performance owner Kai Palkeinen brings over 25 years of international experience to the forefront, having been on a global tour.  Kai’s wealth of boot-fitting expertise defines what Stance is today.

Established in 2015, Pulse Boot Lab in Revelstoke marked the first step in Kai’s journey. In 2020, Kai sold the business while actively supporting the new owners and moving to Collingwood to open another location.  Stance Performance opened its doors this November 2023 in Collingwood and is ready to make its mark.  The commitment to excellence is evident, and it’s exciting to see the expansion of Kai’s hard work.
Today, you’ll find the Stance Team is on the floor of his new local shop at 142 Hurontario Street to ensure the best fitting experience. Skiiers, Bikers, and Golfers travel from all areas of greater Toronto to visit the Blue Mountains, and Stance has landed in the center of the action.
