Um, yeah PNW you're in for a bigger gear bill this year.
Not sure exactly lol...you buy ski boots, they mold the part you step on to your foot. Didn't get them last time, by will this time. Everyone (and my hubby) says they give you much better control and comfort. My current boots don't have either lol. There's a post somewhere on this site about it - I'm just going to the same bootfitter my hubby has used (he had some ankle issues the guy solved also).When people talk about custom footbeds are we talking about superfeet or like custom orthotics?? I was thinking about trying out superfeet...do people tend to love them? Are there any other alternatives?
Also, what do you all think is the best ski sock? While trying on boots, the person that was helping us mentioned that our socks were really too thick (Thorlo extreme ski)...any suggestions?
ETA: My favorite socks are Smartwool, padded a bit in the shin and the rest is thin, but very warm.

Actually, a whole gear review thread:There's a post somewhere on this site about it
It is, isn't it? You know all the coats I have? All his doing. Unfortunately, we paid retail for many of them .How sweet that he's such a gear whore, too.

I fought for 2 years to get the Auras, which I dearly, dearly love .
Now, hubby has decided I need to have either the Gotamas, the Kiku, or the Katana. WTF ??? He realizes we live in MICHIGAN, home of the man-made hardpack, right??? What the H am I gonna do with 105-128 waisted skis??????? :ROTF:
I love him dearly, but.......
