I am a seasonal full-time alpine ski instructor at a Utah ski resort. I have three pair of ski boots and they all have custom made foot beds to provide arch support under load. I would never consider skiing a boot with the standard foot bed sold stock with new boots because support is minimal and results in over pronation of the foot in the boot. On the waterskiing side of things this summer I am transitioning from a Radar Vector Boa front boot to a Syndicate hard shell boot and release binding. Is anyone out there using a custom made foot bed in a hard shell boot and has it enhanced their comfort and performance?

Advantages using Ortho in alpine boots
- Foot stand with 'equal pressure' and help improve blood circulation
- Less fatigue. I can ski more relaxed
- Help me with my terrible pronation
I use one in my Reflex, FF for tricking. Same reasons as above.
I sometimes use 2 in my slalom boots. Semi stiff Radar Pulse boots.
Provide better stans (pronation).
Reason for sometimes is since I cant squeeze them in with the neoprene socks.
Socks are more important (we start skiing in well below 40F)
