Surefoot

I had a set of their footbeds ~10 years ago. They use a fully-loaded weight molding system, meaning you're standing upright when they analyze your foot. i.e. your foot is flattened. This is bad for two reasons:
1. If your weight changes (+/-15 lbs), the footbed no longer conforms to your foot.
2. Skiing is a dynamic sport, molding the foot in a static, stressed position doesn't bold well if you want to do anything other than stand straight up.

Also there's an issue about the blocking they do under the toes which doesn't allow the toes to spread out naturally and potentially hindering performance.

Anyway, I got much better work at Green Mountain Orthotic Lab in Stratton, VT, who use a partially-weighted system and have a more hands-on approach.

surefoots are more for racing and such where boots are tighter and dont move around quite so much.



shit happens when you party naked

that was 10 years ago man. surefoot has changed to an all computerize system. Right now they are the best out there. How do I know this? 3 of my friends work at surefoot in killington. The kid above has no idea what he is talking about.

Sorry ride4frnt, but they're still using the same methodology I participated in. Yes, there were computers 10 years ago. The foot scanning, topography mapping, and milling haven't really changed - it's just the process they've refined over the past 20 years.

They are very competent bootfitters, don't get me wrong. I merely disagree, from personal experience, that their footbed philosophy yields the highest comfort and performance.

^^ man when u use words like those you trick me into beleiving you actually know what your talking about... wait do you?

Not wearing poles is alot like getting a blowjob from a guy...It feels good until you look down and realize you're gay.

I guess the shop workes must be wrong. Considering one is sitting here smoking a bowl with me laughing at your ass. Just because you can use big words doesn't mean you know what your talking about.
