Footbeds
Did you know that without a customized footbed your ski and snowboarding boots are only 70% complete? That's because without a footbed your boot is just a hard synthetic shell, kind of like an empty lunch box. Boot fitting experts know that transforming that shell into dynamic performance gear involves marrying the correct boot for your performance level, your foot shape, and your body's build with a footbed.

Most trim-to-fit-footbeds are simple and better remedies to alleviating very minor foot and mechanical problems. They help provide a better 3-D fit in the side of the boot. The cupping of the heel helps provide some better stability inside the boot.

For feet with not too many problems, a trim-to-fit-footbed is all you need as long as it fits the right criteria. It is a premolded arch support that also can provide good contact between the big toe matched with the stability of the heel. This will allow for better stability of the foot and energy transfer to the boot.

Custom Fit Footbeds are a perfect reflection of the way your foot ought to be. It takes craftsmanship and know-how to make a functional footbed. The idea of custom is to help realign the bones and give you the best foundation your foot can have. Sometimes, depending on the type of foot you have, the footbed may have to be reinforced with posting material. Custom takes a little more time but the results are fantastic.

Custom Footbeds made by Sidas Conformable are the choice of our boot technicians at Sporting Life. We take great care and pride to craft you the best pair of footbeds you will ever have.

Once footbeds are molded and cooled down, a perfect cast is made of the foot in neutral. We then work with this template and adjust it to your specific needs. From here we grind and work it with your fit to your boots.
