Custom Ski Boot Fitting And Orthotics
Custom Ski Boot Footbed
The basis of a proper fit in a ski boot is a sturdy and supportive footbed. A custom ski boot footbed from Boot Mechanics is necessary if you want ski boots that perform at their best and are as comfortable as possible. Custom footbeds, also known as insoles, keep your feet in their sturdiest, most secure position, allowing you to ski longer and more efficiently.
Experience Ultimate Comfort and Control On the Slopes With Our Custom Ski Boot Footbeds
The experts at Boot Mechanics make custom footbeds for ski boots that provide top-tier support, comfort, and performance in Avon and Golden - Colorado.
Top-Tier Support
A proper boot fitting should begin with a consultation, during which your boot fitter will examine your foot's flexibility. The flexibility of your arch and how your feet track and splay when weighted should help the ski boot fitter determine the level of support you need in your ski boot.
A proper footbed can stabilize any excessive motion, pronation, or supination and allow your feet to remain more neutral in your ski boots. A custom footbed is an essential piece to any successful boot fit.
Comfort
Ski boot discomfort often comes from the arch collapsing as the skier approaches the inside edge. Custom insoles from Boot Mechanics stop this movement by stabilizing the foot in a powerful neutral position, offering support to all the foot's muscles and ligaments and, as a result, enhancing the comfort of the ankle, instep, forefoot, and toes.
Performance
The purpose of the ski boot is to transfer energy from the body to the skis. Any space inside the ski boot can cause a significant loss of power and control as you try to navigate your way down the slopes. Ski boots that do not fit properly make the skiing motion harder, which wears out joints and muscles. Custom footbeds reduce space and increase power transfer into the skis.
Our Process for a Custom Ski Boot Footbeds
Before beginning a fit, Boot Mechanics wants to listen to you and learn about your needs and objectives. Several steps are taken while creating custom ski boot footbeds to guarantee that you obtain the ideal insole for your unique needs. These steps include:
Step 1: Pick a Boot
All boots come in various shapes to accommodate different foot types, including those with low and high arches and other volumes of feet. Your boot fitter will quickly identify which boots best suit your foot shape, skiing style, and skill after taking measurements and asking simple questions.
Step 2: Build a Footbed
The most critical component of footwear is the footbed. It serves as your base and offers stability, comfort, and support. In addition to making a footbed that matches your ski boot, your boot fitter will create a customized footbed that is a mirror copy of your foot.
Step 3: Adjustments
Any boots purchased at Boot Mechanics come with a year of adjustments from the purchase date to adjust as necessary because specific issues may surface after skiing that was not evident at the time of your initial fitting.
