🎿 CUSTOM SKI ORTHOTICS: WHY CUSTOM MATTERS
Your feet are the foundation of your ski setup. They connect you to your boots—and your boots connect you to your skis.
So why invest in a true custom ski orthotic?
ALIGNMENT MATTERS
Your foot influences what happens through your ankle, knee and lower leg.
When I make a custom ski orthotic, I assess your individual foot and lower-limb mechanics and plaster cast your feet in a non-weight-bearing position. This allows me to assess the relationship between your rearfoot and forefoot without the compensations that occur when your feet are loaded.
Custom posting through the rearfoot and forefoot can then help optimize alignment and knee tracking, creating a more stable and efficient platform inside your ski boot.
YOUR SKIING MATTERS
There isn't one ideal ski orthotic.
A ski racer looking for a stiff platform for edge control has different needs from someone who spends much of the day ski touring and needs more flexibility while walking.
Your orthotic is designed around your feet, your skiing and your boots.
BUT FIRST: WARM, COMFORTABLE FEET
Before we talk performance, we need to talk about boot fit.
Cold or numb feet mean less sensory information from your feet. This matters even more in the backcountry, where you're touring for hours and navigating changing terrain.
If your boots are too tight, restricting circulation or creating pressure points, an orthotic isn't necessarily the answer. Sometimes your boots need an adjustment—or occasionally, a different boot.
I can make your orthotics without your ski boots, but bring them to your appointment whenever possible. I can check the fit and provide feedback to your boot fitter when adjustments are needed.
NOW IS THE TIME
Custom ski orthotics take approximately 3 weeks to fabricate, and appointments become harder to find once ski season begins.
If you're considering custom ski orthotics and have extended health benefits that cover them, book early and get your feet sorted before the season.
