Custom footbeds

Did you get custom footbeds? Or true custom footbeds? Did you go into the store and pick out footbeds from the shelf? Or did a fitter make you custom footbeds?

I got "custom" footbeds once from a bike shop that was starting to do more ski stuff during the winter. He basically just haphazardly molded a sheet of material to my foot without prepping the equipment. Then he cut the molded sheet to the shape of the improperly sized for the liner stock footbeds, didn't add any supporting material to the footbed, and put them in the wrong intuition liner for my shells.
My point is do your research before you commit to purchasing materials and services from a "bootfitter"

If you got your footbeds from a reputable bootfitter give them a call about your fitment concerns and they should be willing to help make some modifications and adjustments. If you are just using drop-in/semi-custom footbeds you may just have ended up with the wrong amount of support for your foot. When I got my first set of good custom insoles the fitter was extremely detail oriented and really knew his shit, truly made me work of art for my feet, but at first it did feel a little weird to have my feet supported after a long summer of 10 hours a day on my feet in some blown out Vans. The goal of a well fitting footbed is to support and stabilize your feet, and with high arches having any amount of support can feel foreign if you are used to no support, but shouldn't feel like the arch support is pressing into your arch so much that is is misaligning your foot or causing pressure points.

Okey, i think ill go visit them. On right boot it feels nice, but on the left i kinda feel pressure on my arch, its not super bad but still a pressure. But i have wrecked my right ankle hard and had pretty serious surgery on it and i i dont really feel the whole feet that much so i cant say if i feel pressure on it or not

Yeah usually every season I notice it takes 2-4 days for my feet to not cramp up along the base of my foot.

Yeah they’ll hurt at first, especially if you’re not used to wearing footbeds day to day

I did not even know i have high arch before, been rocking nike dunks etc flat shoes my whole life so was wondering if it is just that. Also been rocking old full tilts too when they came without any footbeds in them bout 10 years now so footbeds even the original footbeds that come with boots are whole new thing for me

The “footbeds” that come in boots provide no support and are spacers for fitting purposes only. They should be removed immediately and be replaced with an actual footbed.

Sounds like you’ve been living the unsupported life just like many of us have / still do, so it will not feel great at the beginning. All your shoes should have proper footbeds in them to support your foot.

Head back to your fitter and tell them what’s going on. If it’s a cork footbed there are many things they can do to dial them in.
