The inserts for ski boots are not as good as the ones for ordinary footwear as they are not designed to be flexible so you can wear them but I would ask your podiatrist..If you need inserts you need to try them in all the boots you try on

I have orthopaedic insoles. Due to running over 20,000 miles as a runner, and something towards 200 weeks of skiing, I developed fascia plantar, or flat feet.

I put one pair of insoles in my ski boots at the start of winter, and they stay there until April.

On the other hand, my boots, although really good boots are a little long in the tooth.

Were I to be buying now, I would almost certainly buy footbeds. Also, I would almost certainly drive the 350 miles, (each way), to CEM's boot business.
