We can provide custom footbeds (also known as insoles) for a variety of sports, from cycling to golf.
Of course our focus is on winter sports and we offer several variants of 100% custom fitted insoles.
The fitting process is offered as part of our boot fitting service, and really does improve fit, comfort and performance. We believe this so much we will happily refund anyone not satisfied with their custom insole.
The process is unique. We go through a process of analysing your needs and your feet, and then use a moulding system to create a shape of the base of your foot. Footbeds are then heated up and inserted into the mould with your foot placed back on top. 5 minutes later, we have a custom insole. This is then finished to your specific requirements.
We use the Conformable system from Sidas, which is world proven. The insoles come in several variants, depending on your requirements and budget:
CUSTOM SKI
The best selling footbed. This is a stock insole with no stabilisation, but this can be added for a perfectly tuned fit, using heel stabilisers or Transflux reinforcements.
Popular with racers to as this footbed has a minimal profile in the boot.
The production of a set of Custom Ski is £50.00 (£40 when purchased with a ski boot) including analysis before producing the footbed.
CUSTOM SKI PRO
The Ski Pro footbed takes the same moulding technology as the ski, but has several additional features. Firstly, an Alacantra front upper section is added for additional warmth and easier foot entry into the boot. An Ionfoam rear upper section also adds comfort to this area.
Twin Transflux stabilisers are already integrated into the footbed, so that when heated they instantly mould to your foot shape offering increased stability.
This is the footbed we recommend the most due to its features, making it ideal for most skiers who want comfort and performance.
The production of a set of Custom Ski Pro is £60.00 (£50 when purchased with a ski boot) including analysis before producing the footbed.
CUSTOM SKI PREMIUM
New for 2008, we think the Ski Premium could be an instant hit! It is designed for ultimate comfort, and unless you are looking to be the next Bode Miller, then the reason you are considering a footbed is to improve comfort as well as performance. Sidas have gone all-out, and made the base fully Transflux enhanced for maximum stability, and then added a Poron heel pad for extra comfort and additional Poron material on the front section.
Ideal for those who want the best comfort without any loss in performance.
The production of a set of Custom Ski Premium is £70.00 (£60 when purchased with a ski boot) including analysis before producing the footbed.
Therm-ic Boot Warmer Elements
For those wanting to use a Therm-ic boot warming system, this can still easily be done by adding an element top sheet to the footbed once it has been custom made for you, to give you the ultimate luxury.
A kit will cost £110-£300 in addition to the footbed you choose to have made. For the Therm ic systems available, take a look in our boot warmers section.
