| Do you use custom footbeds? I just had some made (Conformable). Can't wait to get them in my new boots.

| i do and they are very nice. however, not quite as good as some folks suggest. the guy in the shop said i was going to feel like superman on the slopes and notice a dramatic improvement in both comfort and performance. improvements were noticable but nothing dramatic.

| I have a foot injury, one of my tendons are torn in the bottom of my foot, stepped on a toothpic about 11 years ago. The footbed made a huge difference in replacing the support that the tendon was supposed to provide.

| I found custom foot-beds made a specifically significant difference in edge initiation & pressure application concerning my leg-foot-boot-ski connection. I regret not having them made sooner…

| I just recently bought new snowboard boots this year and am on the border between getting footbeds or not. Right now, my boots are designated to fit my boot so I really can't \ don't see the benefit.

| I use the $30 ones you can buy in the shop. They made a pretty big difference in the fit.

| If you think 30$ trim to fit footbeds are good you should try custom footbeds Jeff
