      So when you are riding, and your doing a toe edge turn, does your heel lift up at all?  Or does it stay 100% planted?  And do you have to make them really really tight or just tight.The problem is that for me, I always have heel lift and I have pain in the middle of the bottom of my foot.(the arch)  I also have a pressure point

        Sometmes my boots squeek, lol it is annoying.  Tip: Try putting some baby powder in them to prevent that.  Your boots should be comfortable, Dude.Well, the less heal lift the better.  But this is not a perfect world and you aren't always going to have zero heel-lift.  Sometimes though, the answer to minimizing heel-lift is

          Thank you Frosty.  :)I think I willl definately need a new footbed.  Superfeet has me sold with “Powering through toe-side turns strains the foot as the heel lifts inside the boot”.  Sounds just like my problem.  But I think I might actually need some siffer boots as well.  They are kinda soft and dont give me the

            …They are kinda soft and dont give me the support I think I want in the toe side turns.  They're a little soft ya know?  When I stand up in them and lean forward it really bends in.  Does that happen with your boots  Frosty?  …

            Dude, what are you — PSYCHIC?  Yeah, the boots I ha

                  Wow, Salomon makes a lot of boots.  Just one more question, how do you get those footbeds into the boot? Because the boot has the liner part.  Does the footbed go under or on top of that?

                    Footbed goes inside the liner.

                      How does it get inside the liner?  And does it replace another footbed(so it's not really tight or anything)

                        Take the liner out of the boot shell.  Reach in the liner and remove the stock footbed.  Replace with new supportive footbed.  Put liner back in boot.  Check fit.Tip: If your boot fits too tight, use thin socks.  Vice versa too 🙂

                          You mean thinner footbed for the vice versa right?
