Superfeet

[Swamp Dog]

does anyone use Superfeet in their boots? If so what do you think of them? I'm looking at the cold weather or maybe the Kork.

Thanks.

I use the Green in my boots. I think it helps but I still used a heel lift with them. On a scale of 1 to 10 on their effectivness, I give them a 6. My podiatrist suggested using Lynco orthotics to me for everyday use

I suggest you call around and see if you can get yourself a deal on custom footbeds. If you want cold weather, find some Hotronics at half price. If you have the cash, this is the year to be buying that kind of thing.

I have the cork vacuum ones. Hated them last year when I had them done, but after having some else adjust them to my feet this season I like them, but then again I have nothing to compare them to since I always used the ones that came in the boots.

I am using the Red Hots. I used the vacuum corks, the Red Hots have a better foundation.

I've used the green ones and have also had Superfeet customs made. But I've had Insta-Print customs for a few years now and wouldn't use anything else.

Those are the microwave ones?

Instaprints are sorta like the Intuition liners. Done in a shop, custom fit for the entire foot, not just the arch.

I went from stock footbeds, to green Superfeet, to the Instaprints. I'll never go back.

I don't remember how they're heated. An oven I think.

Yeah. That's a pretty reliable system. Given the costs involved, it's highway robbery what shops are charging for them. You'd think they were filling teeth or somethin'.

I use them(the slightly thicker model(green)) and sell them. We let people demo them for a few hours before they have to decide to buy them. They don't help everyone, everytime but for $35 it's always worth a shot. Haven't tried the new Hot Pink/Red Hots, $50 yet as I don't have a problem with cold toes.

I have had the Green and the Pink Hots in my boots. Prefer the Pink Hots above the green. They really do improve boot warmth if you get the Pink Hots.

Recently I went from using superfeet to an Instaprint from Precision Footworks here in Michigan. I haven't had a lot of experience with them yet, but I think I'm going to love these!

Tell me about it! I suddenly felt the need to do a couple of root canals after handing over my Visa card! :lol: :lol:

I disagree about cost.
My conformable SIDAS custom footbed total cost about the same as off-the-shelf one.....of close most work I did myself make form, heat mold footbed multiple times and make adjustments, grind footbeds to fit inside of the liner. At minimal cost bootfiter did only posting of EVA foam and alignment. I am very happy with final product and it costs.

 

[Swamp Dog]

thanks all. good info here.

Anyone use Sole foot beds? I never knew there were so many different brands.

 

[meff]

Swamp Dog, you are close enough to Concord - you should go see Jeff at Profile Orthotic. He did my new footbeds back in December and my alignment which has made a huge difference in my skiing.

As soon as we can get the time my wife is getting her footbeds and toeplate done.

 

[Swamp Dog]

maybe 30 minutes to Concord? I'll give him a ring and see what we can do. Thanks Meff!

 

[Greg]

Jeff uses the Instra-print system. He did my orthotics. Well worth a visit. Welcome meff!

 

[meff]

Yes he does use Insta-print - probably should of mentioned that eh? :idea:

Thanks for the welcome, been lurking for years....
