 Poster: A snowHead
|
Bought new ski boots last weekend and the guy in the shop (Snow & Rock) was highly recommending we take these. We didnt opt for them on the day but thinking of getting them next time we are in dublin. The were costing about 70euro a pair and were heat moulded.
Just wondering are they regarded as being worth the money.

2waterford, at €70 they were most likely sidas/conformable footbeds S&R don't sell the custom footbeds form Superfeet and the off the shelf products are £35-£50 depending on the model
if well made a custom footbed is great, if you are not 100% convinced about the guy making them then an off the shelf product is a great starting point, they offer enough support for most people skiing 1-2 weeks a year who don't have any major foot problems, a custom made footbed will give better support and contact with the foot

hi 2waterford,
i got a pair from a website ........http://www.insoles-direct.com/ski_boot_insoles
i didn't really want to spend any more money, especially after buying 4 sets of boots for my family, but i got these ones from the site above. I have skied with them several times now and they have stopped the cramp and pins and needles i was getting after an hour or so.
For £35 they were a great purchase. Maybe next year or sometime in the future i'll buy a custom pair. I admit, they may not be as good a custom pair but they solved my issues
hope this helps you out

The off the shelf superfeet are excellent. I've had 3 pairs of custom insoles (2 conformable + 1 superfeet cork) for my ski boots and none of them have ever really worked for me but when I switch back to superfeet green my feet are ok. For years now I've used superfeet green in my ski boots, superfeet blue in my hiking/golf/timberland boots and superfeet dress in my leather shoes. Excellent product; lasts for ages and easy to swap between footwear.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

2waterford, Another vote for superfeet - I have the custom ones in my race boots and they are spot on. My son plays football at a high level and spent last season in agony because of arch/foot problems, got my boot man to give his feet the once over and he put him in superfeet orange - a different player with a huge goal tally again thanks to zero foot pain.

Another vote for Superfeet. I have terribly flat feet and have custom made insoles, cost me a fortune, foot was plaster cast etc. They are good but I have been getting some numbness in the balls of my feet. Decided to try some Superfeet blues which have been fantastic so far - seem to be offering equally good support and the numbness is definitley going away. Have just put some reds in my ski boots as well so interesting to see how they fare this year.

Forgot to say.... if you get the Red Hots make sure you have something decent to cut them with, they have a metal foil base and I destroyed 2 pairs of scissors to fit one pair. They are bloody tough to cut with normal scissors!
