piusthedrcarve Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Does anyone have used Sidas insole before? I have ridden with Superfeet (RED hot) for years but want to try Sidas (https://www.sidassport.com/en/products/220-winter-custom-pro-mesh.html) this season. No particular reason to switch but just worrying support of Superfeet may ran out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticBoarder Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Personally, I went to custom insoles and have never looked back. For me, superfeet are the closest second I have tried, I have a high arch though so need the extra support the rigid layer adds, but it was honestly no competition. I think mine are instaprints? If these are at all similar I think you would be happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowwjob1 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Second custom foot beds. I have Sidas will never go back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckmann AG Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I've worked with the Sidas blanks in the distant past, and continue to use their casting unit. I prefer the polyplast blanks supplied by Sportstech Ltd. The price, and purchase terms are more favorable, and I find the product is just as good if not better. As AcB suggests, the Instaprint system is very similar. As used in the video, you'd gain in terms of feedback by way of contour, but no much in terms of actual support or biomechanical advantage. But then, what else is new. http://beckmannag.com/alpine-skiing/footbeds1 (Follow the links at the bottom of each section). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then yes, but it's a little tricky, on account of trying to operate the casting unit while seated without accidentally affecting the imprint.

AcousticBoarder Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I would definitely recommend a good boot fitter for this one. I wouldn't even think of diying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowwjob1 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I think it would be hard to align the knee over the foot while forming to the arch. Unless you have really long arms!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacopodotti Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I have the sidas that you posted. Very supportive and transmissive but absolutely no dump. On ice my foot gives me pain. So I switched to more comfortable and less transmissive footbeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piusthedrcarve Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thank you all for advices. I went to a ski shop to custom mold them to my feet but they are not familiar with Sidas footbed and do not have proper devices to cook/mold the Sidas insoles. Then tried to sell me Superfeet insoles, which I already have.. I don't think any shop near me are able to do. Bummer. anyone want them?

Beckmann AG Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Save them until you visit Sugarloaf, and I'll form them for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ursle Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) I went to super foot at killington, they did some orthotics and then foamed me with the conformable liner, almost ten years ago, cold liners but the heel is still stuck like glue, I had a few pair already from various places, I put them in everything, bicycle shoes, golf shoes, roller skate boots, of course the UPZ’s, and last but not least, horse riding boots, when you ride a horse your feet are always weighted, and the soles spread your weight evenly. the super foot store takes blanks and forms them, not familiar with superfeet, but if they are worn with out heat molding they are just a step in the correct direction, not an actual orthotic.

Thanks Erik, I don't know when I'm going to visit Sugarloaf but it's in my to-visit list along with Bretton Wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianp Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 HI Piusthedrcarve, you've probably checked the retail shops but if they sell the foot beds they should be able to mold them there. My question: Does anyone make cork footbeds anymore? I'm in N. California. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
