Ordered several pairs for myself & family because of your video & all the good people supporting Remind. Just wanted to send thanks for all you do. 🙌
Great vid thanks bro very informative pleased you had a long season we are just get amped for the start of ours.
I have a collapsed arch and pizza shaped feet so foot pain has been part of the game for a minute. I got both the medic and the Cush to compare and contrast. So far I agree with Avran with the cush being what’s working for me despite being labeled a high arch insole.
Did you have to slit the instep to make it accommodate your foot shape?
@@AngrySnowboarder I did not. I actually added a thin shim underneath the liner too.
I wanted to have a full day of riding not just walking around the house to give you an answer.
I rode this insole at the canyons resort on a deep powder day with my vans infuse boots, Union atlas bindings, and k2 excavator board.
This is the best my feet have felt in snowboard boots since picking it back up 5 years ago. I felt that ruts and bumps were dampened and my feet stayed warm through the cold and wet day. The less rigid structure of the cush seemed to adapt better to the inside of my boot than the medic.
There was some minor foot muscle stretching/ acclimation for my feet and I recommend wearing these insoles in other shoes for a week and going for some walks in addition to putting them in your boots to get the feel.
I’ve just ordered the “Remind Cush Impact 5.5mm High Arch Insole” as I have a high arch, hoping they work with my feet now after watching this 🤞🏼
Personal findings to share - my feet size is 8US. I use both Medic and Medic Impact. The thickness difference is barely noticeable to my feet. I am mostly resort rider. I've found liking Impact more because I can feel the difference from the vibrations. Impact also meant less foot fatigue for me. I'd agree with Avran that Medic is good enough for most people who are looking at Medic, and Medic Impact is more reserved for hitting ramps, aggressive backcountry, or just want more energy absorption for those with joint issues.
Excellent video I even learned a bit more about Medics! Thank you Avran
Did you order same side as boot? Was there any fitment issues? I see people saying order a size smaller than you typically wear
I want to fix some heel lift in my boot, do you think the medic impact will feel more room inside the boot? THanks!
One note on sizing. I wear Salomon boots in size 12. I ordered the Cush in 12-12.5 but they were way too big. It would have taken major surgery to get them to fit. I returned them and ordered a pair in 11-11.5, and they fit great.
Looks like I'll be doing major surgery as also bought my size range.
Gonna be in Summit County in 2 weeks any shops/boot fitter you would recommend? Might try and see if there are any leftover late season deals on a new pair of boots.
Hey Angry,
have you tried the ThirtyTwo Elite Insoles? They have customizable arch support for low/medium/high arches. Just curious how these compare to the Remind.
Thanks
They don’t
Thank you for the great tutorial! I thought about buying one of these but couldn't decide which one to get (but now I do). A quick question: The stock insoles in my boots seem to be glued to the liners. To install the custom insoles, should one rip the stock insoles or just keep them below the custom ones.
Rip them out it's a little glue in the heel and the toe.
Rip those hoes out, stacking them on top of each other will give you a super awkward feel and probably compress your toes against the top of your boot
Reminder set
I used both Medic and Cush…they were both awesome and really helped with dialing in fit and comfort…I am very interested to try FT Gamechangers…any feedback on them?
That this video isn't about them it's about Reminds.
@@AngrySnowboarder homie just asked
@@rexradford5043 None of my business but the name of the channel is "Angry Snowboarder" for a reason. Expect these kind of answers. Don't take it personal. It's part of the whole idea.
I bought the Medics but I think I should have went with the cush because the arch is just too high and I'm getting foot pain. Can I trim a little of the cushion away from the underside of the arch to make it collapse some or will that just ruin them?
Take a razor blade and find the middle of the arches height, then cut a line from the front to the back of it. Step on it and see if that compresses enough, if it doesn't cut another line underneath it. There's a video in the Boot Fitting 101 playlist about the Hartzler notch that tells you how to do this.
@@AngrySnowboarder Great thanks Avran. I'll check out the video and give a try.
I’m narrow footed Salomon rider but I have low to mid arch… would you try the medic or the cush?
just upgraded from vans og to Ride Fuse. Bad idea to pull out the medics I put in like a month ago and stuff em in the new boots? The insoles good but cut to match the vans one.
Time for some new insoles.
Do you have a rough guide for what constitutes a medium or high arch?
Can you stick more than one finger between the floor and your arch? That's high, 1 finger that's medium to normal, and flat on the ground is flat.
@@AngrySnowboarder thankyou
How do I know if I really need insoles? I'm 26, never really had any foot pain or fatigue while riding. I charge hard, put in 30 days a season, weekend warrior type vibes. All I really feel is a bit of knee soreness after riding 5+ hours but to be honest my whole body is tired. Do you snowboarders think they are worth getting over stock? How do you know what kind of foot arch you have?
You need them.
I think the same way. Did you ended up getting one anyways?
Are these an older model the new ones I saw have a skull hand on them are those the same?
They have multiple graphics on multiple models.
@@AngrySnowboarder solid just trying to make sure I get the right ones Iv got a flatter foot and was thinking the Cush
Bought a medium arch but it’s kinda low, will cardboard layers and tape underneath the arch support do the job?
NO!
@@AngrySnowboarder and a blow dryer on top of that?
Trying to get banned?
@@AngrySnowboarder what? Why…
What material is the bottom chassis on the Cush? I wear insoles in my skate shoes and the superfeet I wear have plastic under chassis and they squeak as I walk
Plastic.
Thanks! @@AngrySnowboarder
I have wide foot so when shopping for insoles I buy them at larger sizes for the width, and trim the length once they arrive. Just wondering if anyone else does that...or is it a bad idea to do so?
As long as the arch matches up you're totally fine.
@@AngrySnowboarder thanks!
Any thoughts on FP Insoles ?
That this is a video about Remind Insoles.
same category and big upgrade over stock. probably not too much of a diff overall, but personally ive been skating FP for over a decade. only way i can ollie down stairs and have good knee stability. probably will add fp insoles for next snowboard season into a boot. never switched any out
@@dont4get2wipe which one did you get? The gamechangers heat moldable one? Have you tried the remind ones too?
Well that's weird. On the Remind site they have the Cush described as high arch and the Medic as mid arch. Avran's always right, so that's just confusing.
Yeah i was confused too don’t know who to trust haha
Well he's clearly not right about this. The website markets the Cush and Medics as for medium to high arches but the Cush is clearly on the high side and for a couple indicators for this, the icon they use for the Cush isof a high arched footprint, as well as The Cush box also clearly states "High arches." I gave them a whirl because they're also supposed to be a little bit wider but they're definitely for high arches and they're too much for my medium arches to be comfortable, at least so far unless they break in. Medics would be better for me.
Are there any woman specific model? Specifically for high arches and a narrow foot.
Remind's website lists both mens and womens sizes for their insoles.
These be unisex, what you should be looking at is the higher arched ones sized to what you need.
I went to buy the cush insoles because i have flat feet but on reminds website it say’s the cush is high arch…. Just want to confirm the best option for flat feet, thanks.
They say that but when you put them side by side you can see that it's not as high. Also for flat feet I find that most insoles you end up having to cut a notch into the arch to get it to align better.
Avran @angrysnowboarder HELP!
I‘m a resort rider & occassional splitboarder with a very narrow foot but completely collapsed arch looking to soak up volume & stop my foot sliding around in my boots. Which footbed should I go for?!?
You need a custom.
Never understood the need for arch support. The entire purpose of the arch is to support your body. Architects have been copying the structure for years because of its inherent strength. I think the main reason for foot pain is that as people get older and wear shoes longer, is that their feet get weak. Kind of like putting cast on...arch support prevents the arch from contracting and relaxing. The foot muscles get weak and people think they need arch support. The arch is supposed to do the supporting. Masking the real issue with arch support isn't solving the issue and increasing the chance for compensation injuries
Foot beds are solid for riding though for impact and nice hard surface to put your feet on. We are after all designed to walk barefoot. Arch support on the other hand straight up contradicts the function of the arch. Unless there some legit medical issue I think it does more harm than good
Go over shoot a 40 foot jump with 0 arch support and tell me how you feel.
@szaret1 What you describe makes sense for general wallking/hiking/running. Flexible, flat shoes with not a lot of arch support. Strong feet supporting themselves, and if they can't, using exercises to correct weaknesses that lead to pronating etc. Lots of PTs prefer this over throwing orthotics at the problem, so I get it.
But snowboarding ain't that way. Your feet are locked into one position, they can't move and adapt a lot, and could use a little support. Like he said, you don't want to send it and slam your feet down while they're strapped into a static position with nothing supporting the arches.
feet evolved to walk around barefoot all day not send it over a family of skiers.
