I've got an unusual question about footbeds. I've had custom footbeds for a few years (Sidas fitted by Larry Adler in Australia).
They seemed to be ok when I was a fairly casual skier, but during the last few months I've been skiing a lot more on an indoor ski deck here in Sydney. The carpet like surface makes it tricky to edge the skis. They seem to be either on or off.
Anyway, I just couldn't feel my edges and I found that I ski much better with the custom footbeds removed. So I'm just using the flat insole that came with the boots. I find this very strange and I'm not happy that I seem to have wasted $200 on the custom job.
My question is what to do. Did they muck up my footbeds? They seemed to mold them to my foot accurately enough. There would be many many people using these footbeds.
I have high arches and a high instep, wide feet, but not wide ankles.
I don't want to get anything new until I understand why the current footbeds make me ski worse.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
