I need this! Boots have always been a nightmare for me. The bones in my ankles are pointy and Wide so... now i'm selling a pair of brand New dynafit skiboots bc i have usted them and the Last time i finished my backcountry adventure stopping every 2 minutes to stop and release pressure. A nightmare those boots.
Good work, bro. Thanks for the clip.
Thanks! Nice to hear
I wish you were based in Sydney, I would be your number 1 customer
As a boot fitter, and someone who works with the Sidas custom system, question on your decision to build up her transverse arch; wouldn't you want to retain its initial mold? With sinking her into the bags, even with the fore and aft shift, the following press on her instep should help create a decent amount of definition for a transverse arch. While I am not a doctor nor the highest rewarded boot fitter, wouldn't you agree that our jobs is to support the structure that is already there, rather than compensate and correct to make an individuals foot "normal". On top of that, when customers who have not had customs in the past, or have not experienced a metatarsal pad, tend to find discomfort with the lift, even when it was created only via that cavity that is naturally there. Simply interested in your train of thought, or if happened to be the case for this individual fit and is simply a technique of yours. (Again, not a doctor, and if you are/ had additional information leading you to this choice, then simply curious as to what you're looking at.)
Spot on Otto...from a fairly seasoned boot fitter here. Couple of other things in this series I was going to mention too (that aren't best practice), but...just surprised this is the best K2 can do. Making me think they should stick to skis?!
@@markstraka8184 if you're such an expert, then what are you doing watching this video?
To show us the right way
@@vitaminb4869 Why would experts be excluded from watching this vdeo?
@@davidsun3814 probably for the same reason why expert skiers wouldn't watch skiing tutorials?
Could you use this process for soccer cleat insoles as well?
Nice work!
Very good, i did a lot of time soon camping out this product, but a lot of shop wrong the method to do it
