Both are similar price, I am wondering which people would recommend?

Also, is it reasonable to mail order or do you really need to go to store for custom footbeds? Fwiw I have been told my arch is medium, and I can see I over-pronate.

The problem with mail order is that every foot is different. You may be in a 26.0 boot, but a cut down 28.00 foot bed might fit your foot better. You won't know until you stand on a few different sizes. The oven molding marginally shapes the foot bed a little more to your foot.
because I'm so inclined .....

plenty experience with the brand conformable but not volcano, conformable make an off the shelf product called volcano not sure if it is that you are talking about.... thing about CUSTOM footbeds is they are produced for your feet by a technician, therefore cannot be bought mail order, if someone tells you you can then personally i believe that they are not giving you the best service for your feet.... different brands of footbed may work differently for each person, i work predominantly with superfeet custom and instaprnt custom products, i sell some of their off the shelf devices but not very many because we work with the individual foot and select the most appropriate thing for that foot. there are really no bad bands of custom footbeds out there, only badly made product or product not suitable for the individual, seek out a good fitter and take their advice on which custom product is best for YOU, if they say that you don't need footbeds or an off the shelf one is all you need, think very carefully if your foot came out a box or if you should be seeking a second opinion
