Harb footbeds are molded partially weighted in a sitting position with one arm crossed over the knee to help precisely control position (subtalar neutral) and the other hand applying pressure. Underneath the bed is a special molding cushion to spread the load out. The amount of pressure depends on your foot’s architecture and how it responds to pressure. For an orthotic footbed, few skiers will want molding to be done heavily weighted because the bed won’t have the gentle give that enhances good tipping for most feet.
