Custom Insoles

[Pamtryingagain]

Last year I bought my own boots and skis for the first time in many decades, so I was renting when I skied just to avoid lugging skis around. That was not a good plan because I LOVE my boots and new skis but the boots; omg the difference! I could wear them just for comfort if they weren't bulky.

The bootfitter did a great job and they were formed so that they shell wouldn't cause compression on my bunions. I bought upgraded insoles for them and can't say I had a problem but he recommended coming back to get fit for custom insoles. Is this hype or worth it? If so, how do they help?

Thanks in advance!

Could not ski without my custom insoles. And I don't really have any issues except high arches. Custom insoles just anchor your feet to the boot.

I know they are pricey. But I'm on my 3rd pr of boots with the same insoles. And I have my boot heater in them too. Boot fitter did that too. My boot fitter actually teaches the boot fitter/insole courses for Atomic.

That's convincing enough I will make an appointment. Nothing for my feet is cheap anyway so what's one more thing?

Forgot to ask about the boot heater. What did you mean about the boot heater? I don't have one. I assume you leave the insoles in the boots when you dry off the boots?

I have a thermic "toe heater" set into my custom footbed. There used to be a picture of them on my boot fitters site, but he changed it up.

I'm THAT person that removes the liners every night after skiing to dry. I collect moisture between the liner and the shell. No dryer fixes that.

Oh, that's a bit of effort but I am sure it is worth it. Thanks for the info.
