I had 2 insoles in each boot to raise my foot ,but i've just got the boots out of the cupboard and i can only find 1 insole for each boot.
What can i use as a replacement or can i use a standard shoe insole??? The last ones were quite ridged

thanks

Do you mean there was a spacer under each footbed (inner sole)?

You could cut new spacers from something that isn't too spongy or too rigid, table mats, cork tiles.....

because I'm so inclined .....

In my local pharmacy I have several types of insoles by Dr. Schol !

I am also member of an outdoor coop store which sells insoles for serious hikers/skiers!

You place these in oven for 5 minutes at 200c and then they mold to your feet!

As Trencher asked,,if these need rasing up heel again Dr. Schol makes excellent gel heel "lifters"

Now if you are a really serious skier/hiker you must get orthodict molded insoles that all great ski shops have ! This is not a marketing ploy ! Molded insoles will improve your skiing by allowing "ski feel" ! A sensation you will discover will enhance your skiing experience !

Hope this helps you !
