    Any way to smooth a bumpy footbed?

    So I have some used leather tele boots that I use for Low angle touring, and one of the pairs has a pretty good imprint in the footbed itself, underneath the insole, from the previous owner. I can feel it through my super feet insoles. Any ideas to smooth out the footbed?

    heat both inside and out with a heat gun and flatten it with foot pressure?

    firmer footbed.

    stop teleing, its silly.

    But when you slip on those leather tell boots you look so much more core. Chicks dig it I hear

    Right tool for the job—Low angle rolling terrain in VT. You could use some Uber lightweight dynafit gear that you transport in your customized sprinter, but then you’d be a dick. Was thinking on getting an NNN BC rig, but just blew my wad on some Blizzard Rustlers.

    heating has potential --

    Are they worth another $100. to you (?) : take 'em to a cobbler (shoe repair) and Ask if they can replace the (leather(?) ) insole …

    is there room to put a flat Spenco (closed cell) insole under your Superfeet insole ?


    good luck... tj
