boot/footbed help
I just got a new pair or lange freeride 130 size 26.5
i was in a lange freeride 120 size 27.5
I have insta print footbeds in the size 27.5
my question is can the foot bed be shaved down/cut to fit in the 26.5?
I dont want to buy new footbeds if I dont have to.
THANKS@EdgeLinkJohn

Did your feet change size (to be in a different boot size?) If not, then I bet the footbed just slides into the new boot. Have you tried it?
If your old boot was too large, then I'm sure you can just trim them to fit. You probalby won't have to trim them much.

it can be cut down, but why not try it as is to see if it fits first?

Footbed can be cut down to fit the FOOT. Do NOT cut the footbed to fit the liner. Footbed fits the foot then liner stretched to fit the footbed and foot. Only problem might be that the support on your size 27 footbed is meant for a size 26 foot and the arch may be somewhat misplaced. If it worked fine before that shouldn't be a big deal.
It's not so much the model year, it's the high mileage or meterage to keep the youth of Canada happy
