Custom Ski Boot Footbeds: The Secret to Better Skiing

Custom insoles - footbeds - for ski boots are in most cases THE most important part of a ski boot fitting. A custom footbed stabilises your foot in the ski boot giving you more control, increased comfort, and allows your fitter to fully customise your ski boots knowing that the foot is being supported and held in the optimum position.

If a customer comes to us with issues in their ski boots, the first question we will always ask is if they have a custom footbed, as they are key to a good fit.
