Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hi,

Anyone know where I can get this or something similar from in Europe - http://www.tognar.com/boot-fitting-foam-10-x-10-sheet/

Thanks

lots of computer stuff come in that foam stuff.
Ask at a computer store. Its usually a top sheet to protect motherboards or videocards, etc.

Funnily enough, I kept 2 sheets for just a thing & threw them out yesterday Shock/
Only kept them because I get heal lift & was going to DIY a solution if my cantered wedges didnt work

another option is to go look at wood/laminate wood flooring underlay. Some of them are of foam quality.
You might get away with asking for a sample 'o)

@Mr.Egg, I don’t <think> the packaging stuff is as dense. Making it pretty useless for purpose requested.

I could be wrong.

You could try chiropodists felt http://www.boots.com/boots-pharmaceuticals-self-adhesive-thick-padding-1-sheet-10115049
I used it to make heel wedges for my running shoes to help with over pronation.

I'm just about to order a new graphics card so I will have a look at its packaging, from what I remember with graphics card packaging some of it is a lot denser than others

Thanks for that website I'll send them a message

If it's a pretty dense neoprene type foam you want, like for making stick-on shaped bits on boot liners, then EBay does loads in different thicknesses - like https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/ADHESIVE-BACKED-BLACK-NEOPRENE-SPONGE-FOAM-RUBBER-SHEET-2mm-15mm-THICK/262636002057?hash=item3d26535b09:m:m8fgFlTknXM-dbE1dG5tnzQ ( just the first that came up on a search).
I've used it on my snowboard boot liners and on walking boot insoles.

 After all it is free Go on u know u want to!

In fairness, and in my experience, and admitting it’s maybe not an option, but if you’re having to pack a liner out, it’s too big. Better starting small and making bigger to fit... as I say, maybe not an economically attractive option.

Grizzler - Nice one, I'd totally forgotten about ebay

I've been in several shops and tried on virtually every boot, none fit very well so I'm making the boots that I do have fit me

Yeah I know that, but 12€ postage for something that costs 4€ is pretty excessive, especially as its something I must be able to find locally

well FWIW the tognar foam works well (it's quite dense and stiff) but I've achieved a similar level of adjustment with duck tape and some chopped up bits of milk bottle on the liners of my snowboard boots to make J bars to stop heel lift.

Just a bit easier with the tognar stuff.

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

You could use some of these Sidas butterfly shaped heel volume reducers and cut them up to suit:

If you buy from Tognar, you may get hit with additional customs duty. I did when I bought some of their canting wedges but just couldn't find a European source for these.

Bought stuff from here for making custom armrest pads on the TT bike, no idea if it's suitable for bootfitting though.
