Twiki 0 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Danz, 32 does liners and has a pretty good name. Generally economical and good standard, am hoping to get some of their boots this season. Check out www.thirtytwo.com (I think). Link to post Share on other sites
Twiki 0 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 woops, sorry! just noticed the "hey skiers!". 32 probably are no help at all then as they just do snowboard stuff as far as I know. Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 I have a set of comformables in my boots. I am using a pair of Nordica Vertech 85 that I bought about 7 years ago and at the same time had a pair of comformables molded for my feet. I am still using the same ones. They are really comfortable although lack a little in shock asorbtion. Make sure you have all the latest bells and whistles in your boots for shocks. The conformables I use have a space blanket type material on the sole to keep the heat in and your piggys nice and warm and because they mold to your foot shape they are much more comfortable than factory soles. If you want a good boot fit, but can't afford mold injection then I highly recommend comformables. Make sure you go to a good boot fitter who has experience with these things.

mogski 0 Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Well mine certainly didn't cost that much. What the hell was involved in that price? I hand job too? What boots was this customer liner/footbeds thing happening too? For your info the corformable is not a custom liner. It is a custom footbed. Just in case you were trying to figure it out.

danz 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Author Share Posted December 4, 2001 yo mogski... yah, i'm talkin about custom liners, not just footbeds...conformable makes liners too..this guy does polyurethene molded liners.... that is what i was hoping to get some advice on... i'm using last years Head World Cup boots great boots, but terrible pinch right on my ankle bones... danz ------------------ pray for snow Link to post Share on other sites
mogski 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Share Posted December 4, 2001 Maybe you should save yourself the trouble and spend a couple of hours fitting new boots. Better off for the price you are talking about. Not only do you get a good fitting boot, but a new one too! Maybe look at softer flexing boots? Less nuts and bolts in the things to get into all those annoying hurting places. Flexon, Salomon Pro Model(if they got it in your foot size. Thanks Salomon Japan for stopping at 28.5 and discriminiating everyone with big feet!) Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted December 4, 2001 Author Share Posted December 4, 2001 hey mogski... believe me, i went through alot of time and trouble to find a "good fitting boot"... but the sad truth is, you don't really know until you are on the mountain...and there is no such thing as demoing high performance boots...the Head boot was the only boot that didn't hurt in the store... and i like stiff boots...total power transfer! well...i'm still researching...want to find a solution before my first day out... 12/15 is the goal... danz ------------------ pray for snow Link to post Share on other sites
