Custom Foot Beds

Yo Everyone,

I got custom foot bed's done over the weekend.  I ended up going with custom/heatmolded SuperFeets.  I didnt get the cork ( I got the $75.00) ones.  The dude told me to get these over cork, because cork are for more agressive racer G-turn dudes and the softer ones are better for park and freeride.  I also analyzed the shit out of them in my room and noticed that my toes hang over about half an inch when inside my boot and outside if my boot when I line them up to my feet.

Did the dude size me wrong, or is this normal?  Also, should I have gone with corked?

Any help would be awesome..

Thanks

In the correct size boot, your toes should overhang the footbed (when it is out of the liner) by just a little bit because ski boots are sized tighter than street shoes. Now, are you saying that your toes overhang the footbed when inside the liner? Then that is a problem...

thanks man.... Yeah they overhang when they are outside of the liner and they also overhang when my foot is in the boot w/custom footbed intact.  The custom foot bed I also notices, slides around inside the boot a boot... its not fit perfectly to the boot or my foot inside the bed.  I have as much overhang inside my boot as I do outside my boot.

Ya thats not right. Custom footbeds should be cut to be the same size as the original footbed that was in the boot. Also the size is not always length it should be measured by arch length. I would go back and see whats up.

i would also take them back. sounds like he cut them short. it really is worth the money to go the extra bit and get the cork fully custom footbeds even if you aren't a racer. custom cork beds are great for anybody that lives in their ski boots for 4-5 months a year. essential. if you wear you boots a size smaller for more control and feel it is pretty much necessary. a custom footbed will help your foot not pancake out and give you all the support you need. they actually give your foot more room to breathe and move if you get them. really helps to make the most of the little wiggle room you have in a proper fitted boot. good luck dude

Definitely go back and see what they can do for you. I would add that the Superfeet Custom Kork (like any one single type of footbed) is not right for everyone and is not fully "custom". It might work for you, but it might not be the right shape or build for your foot. Definitely get it checked and see what options would work well for your specific foot shape. Go to a couple different shops if you have to, just so you can get a few opinions on what a few boot-fitters think.
