Why Custom Footbeds?

Boots are the most important equipment in the ski package.   If your boots do not fit properly your feet may become cramped or hurt causing a loss of performance and control in your skiing.

“Without properly fitting boots, you can’t ski with good technique. They should fit like a firm handshake. Your toes should touch the front while you’re sitting, but then pull back a bit when you stand up. When a boot is too big, the foot shifts and you'll get toe and shin bang. Go to a specialty ski shop, because they often invest in special training for their bootfitters.”

The first component of great fitting boots is the footbed.  Custom molded footbeds from Superfeet are molded to fit the underside of YOUR foot.  After the custom footbed is fit to your foot and your boot you will have the correct support for your feet in the neutral position.  With comfortable boots and good circulation in your feet you will be able to direct your energy to skiing and improved performance. 

With our Custom Bootfitting process all customers start with a thorough foot assessment to select the correct custom footbed and boot.  After the footbeds are selected and molded we will then align the boot and lower leg.  We then put everything together and you go out and ski.  You will be amazed at how comfortable ski boots can be.  Your skiing performance will likely improve since your feet are comfortable and you are now directing energy more precisely to your skis. 

Our Bootfitting Guarantee:  If  we select the proper boot and size for you and you purchase the boot and footbed from Mt. Shavano we guarantee the boot to fit and be comfortable for the life of that boot.   

We are also happy to work with you with your existing boots to help you eliminate any problems you currently have.
