I have flat feet and was lookin for a little more comfort and support.
A lot of choices and choices within choices so I just wanted to get some input.
From what I've seen Superfeet is the most popular company. Or which company do you like? Custom or cut to size?
Are custom shop cut and molded beds worth the big price tag.
Will you get more edge control with some of these stiffer custom beds and can you hike comfortably in the stiff beds that claim to give you more edge control.
Any way please let me know what you've had success with.
I like my Reminds, need a couple more pairs, been wearing these Medics for a few months already, they're great. Also have flat feet, will probably be going to full orthos soon, gettin older and my feet are just fucked.
I'll have to look into those brands
I have expensive custom mold full ortho's for my shoes but they are unfortunately the hard plastic type and I have been told those type don't work in ski/board boots very well. So I thought I'd try the next best thing.
I have found Cadence insoles to work best for me. I have used every insole on the market and they seem to have the best combination of support and cushion out there. You can trim the toe if needed but I didn't have to. I'm an 11 and the size 11/12 worked great for me. They make my shoes and boots fit much better, much more of a custom fit feel. Cadence10 is a coupon code I used on their website for a discount. Definitely worth a try! Good luck.
OK, and those are the high volume ones. If I go with Superfeet's recommendation I guess I should go with the CD's cause they're low volume which superfeet claims are easier on people with flat feet.
Sole EVs or DKs. Since they are heat moldeable you can really flatten out the arch. Pick the ones that are similar volume to your stock insoles if the boots already fit well. I like to mold them twice to really get them to fit right. I also trim a hair off the edges near sides to allow additional room for my wide feet
thanks man, just out of curiosity, if you ever get a chance id love to see what you mean by trimming the sides.i mean, i get it, but id like to see how much..also, do you find that the insoles help even if your boot liner is already packed out as far as it's going and is too narrow?
Basically I just take a razor blade and trim these two sections flat across. Don't have a picture right now but my MS paint skills can hopefully demonstrate.
try getting a small heel lift done at a local shop, and the boots should pack out some..i did a heel lift in boots that were 1/2 size small and it made them bearable
Yeah those look sweet, doesn't sound like they have much shock absorption though and my feet don't get cold in my boots so I'd be worried the extra 400g of insulation would give me sweaty feet.
My boots are a bit tight and the local shop said to throw a pair of arch support inserts in them. They lift your arch and give you some additional wiggle room in the toe box while your boots loosen up. I have some of the 'blue' superfeet inserted in my boots and they're doing the job.....
