Thread: Possible to get replacement "stock" footbeds for ski boots?

I bought a used pair of boots, and I threw out the original footbeds that came with the boots (Nordica Speedmachine 12's). I don't need anything fancy, but I'd like to find something similar to the basic stock footbed to replace them with as opposed to a cork or Superfeet footbed. Do retailers sell these, or maybe the manufacturers?

Your boots are worth $700.
Your lift ticket is worth $90.
You wanting to put $.45 footbeds in your boots seems kinda silly! Most bootfitters just throw them away btw.

Get some real footbeds. It's the single best thing that you can do for your skiing.

Superfeet and Sole make non-custom footbeds (Sole's are moldable, but in my opinion function better unmolded) for $30-$40 that are a big improvement on the stock foam thingies.

I understand this is an option, but I'm not interested in custom foot beds. I don't want this to turn into a thread about the virtues of custom foot beds, because I've seen and read those and understand it.

Also, I've tried the Sole and SF inserts, but they all have too much of an arch for my foot. Basically, I'm just looking for a simple footbed that takes up some volume- like the stock one that has a little bit of heel support.

Just ask a friend, no? Everyone takes those fuckers out. I have 6 pairs downstairs.

Ha, he bought the boots from his friend (me), and the stock ones I had in there STUNK to high heaven.

I am sure someone has these laying around, Steve.

This. I've got tons of those things lying around. I'll mail you some if you want.

Dr. Scholls? (look at the rack at your local drugstore)

Toast, PM sent.

I figured someone on TGR would have extras lying around.

a lot of ski shops will have a box full of these things and will be more than happy to send you home with some- after they give you the custom footbed spiel, of course.

Any off the rack cheap foot beds from the local drug store will work with out the shipping hassles. The relatively cheap super feet green foot beds work great for people with normal feet, and are much better then the stock (throw away) beds.

I have new never used Speedmachine insoles size 26.5. Yours if you want em.

He mentioned a problem with the arch being to high, I get this with the green super feet as well. The blue are MUCH better and I would thoroughly recommend them.

Downunders - cheap and effective.

Surprised you had problems with SOLE though - you should be able to heat mold most of the arch right out of those.

Get the superfeet trim to fits.

blue superfeets have a relatively low arch but a nice heel cup. Cheap too.

Just take them out of your running sneakers
