Ski boot foot beds

Sophie was in Filarinskis today looking at boots. Marcos the boot tech is very helpful and was recommending a boot foot bed. Do they really make a difference? She has pretty flat feet and Marco reckons they will help stop her feet moving forward and twisting in the boot.

Are they worth it?

Yes Jez - most definately. Marco fitted a pair for my mate and he reckoned that the difference was amazing. Marco certainly knows his stuff and would never recommend anything just to get a sale.

I'd go for it.

Cheers PP - I expect we'll pop back next week and come out with new boots and foot beds! (for Sophie at least - I'm still more than happy with my 12yr old Nordica boots)

re: Ski boot foot beds

I bought my latest skis from Marco - Atomic Ti Smokes. They were cheaper than the ones I had intended to buy but as I've skied with Marco many many times he insisted the Atomics were the right ski's for me. So I bought them.

And boy do I love 'em Banana skiing

They look very nice and have got awesome reviews. I wonder if Hunters will have any when I rent mine in a weeks time?
