    Not without the associated accoutrement. Still have a couple pumps, but the throne, oven, molding boards all got chucked two summers ago, along with a dozen jigs that weren’t in anyone’s way. Fucking bike mechanics.

    I am pretty lucky as some are to be able to use off the shelf foot beds. Just ordered a fresh set of green superfeet the other day.

    The green superfeet really hurt my foot when I tried them. Not having had any problems it's hard to justify the time and cost of going custom footbeds, though admittedly the poll results here have me rethinking my "whatever came with my boot" approach lol

    Poll: do you use aftermarket or custom footbeds?

    I haven't been inside a Superfoot in years and am shocked they don't do custom footbeds anymore. Did I get that right? Why the fuck are they still a business without selling a custom footbed?

    I use superfeet red (green?) without too much trouble. I think if you aggressively size down you are more likely to need a custom footbed. I have a performance fit but nothing like what a lot of guys on here run. Happy my insoles ONLY cost $50 bucks :eyeroll:

    Surefoot = Custom ski boot shop that does custom liners and custom footbeds
    Superfeet = Aftermarket insoles, mostly generic trim to fit, but do have a custom footbed product.
    I learned this from the social media on FaceSpace.

    I find the heat moldable insoles to be much better than superfeet (which I used for years). Semi-custom but not nearly as expensive. Sole is a good brand IMO and just as cheap or cheaper than the superfeet.

    Need support as over pronate. Out of the box the arch of sole is too high for me but the easy oven cook gets the job done.

    My feet are low volume & flatter than piss on a plate, the Sole's give good support to the foot and fix up the alignment of my leg/foot so i don't need to fuck with cuff cant which is a good thing cuz the Vulcans don't have any

    that grey foam is easily sanded so I sand off all the grey foam under the toes to leave just the neoprene top layer and I have more toe room

    I rock commando style.
    Intuition liners with a small wedge taped to the boot board where my arch is.
    I have really wide feet with a long high-volume arch, so this is the best for me(Cochise pro 130).

    No footbed or inserts at all in my Lange RX LV 130s with the stock liner or with my Intuition HD Race liner.

    Stock insole in my Lange XT 130s with stock liner.

    Sidas Conformable in my Atomic Backland Carbon with stock liner.

    In my just retired Head Mojos, store bought ultra cheap Pro Feet sponge inserts trimmed with scissors just at where the metatarsal arch starts. Same for my Mach 1 130s.

    In my new K2 Spyne 130s where I had the bunion and 5th metatarsal's tuberosity punched out, I put in older customs that I made sure were minimally posted. Very nice.

    I've heard lots of good things about cork. Wonder why they would stop making them. Synthetics=cheaper?

    I would think cork would be eco friendly and more popular these days
