Snowboarding Custom Sports Orthotics

Why use Custom Orthotics in your Snowboard Boots?

When you're snowboarding your constantly shifting your weight over your board and your feet are always in motion. The footbeds that come as standard in a snowboard boot don't offer your foot anything in the way of support, allowing your aches to collapse, leading to overpronation or supination and fatigue and possibly injury. 

A custom orthotic specific for snowboarding will stabilise your foot in a neutral position, allowing you to apply maximum pressure to your heel and toe edge.

A custom snowboard orthotic will improve pressure distribution across your foot. The orthotic will completely unique to your foot, creating the best base of support for your body. Your weight will be spread evenly across your whole foot, reducing any possible discomfort and fatigue in your feet. You'll be able to ride longer and harder, pain free.

Correctly fitted footwear

We stock a wide range of snowboard boots in store and your technician will be happy to help you find the correct boots for you. If you already have a pair of snowboard boots then your technician will inspect your boots and advise if they are suitable for use with a custom snowboarding orthotic. If fitting to preexisting footwear we recommend that you have done less than 50 miles in them.

We offer a four stage fitting process to help ensure that perfect fit.

	Stage 1: Biomechanical Analysis We analyse your gait and biomechanics, through evaluation of your feet and lower body movement. We then evaluate and identify movement patterns which enables us to identify likely problems that may lead to recurring injuries, discomfort and inhibited performance.
	Stage 2: Computer Aided Foot Scan We take static and dynamic foot scans that create a 3D computerised image of your feet. Then we examine and analyse the forces placed through your feet to help you choose the correct footwear and manufacture custom orthotics needed for increased support.
	Stage 3: Custom Sports Orthotics We take a custom moulding of each foot, made using silicon vacuum technology. A TechFeet technician then manufactures custom orthotics specific to your needs whilst you wait. We manufacture a wide range of unique orthotics for most sports from flexible running ones to rigid skiing orthotics all of which cushion impact, stabilise, guide your feet and evenly distributing pressure.
	Stage 4: The Correct Footwear We have an wide range of footwear for several sports in store. Our highly trained technicians will use all the information gathered above to select the right footwear for you depending on your sport, participation level, foot shape, foot type and biomechanical movement. If you already have your own footwear we can assess those and can manufacture and fit a custom orthotic to these as well. If fitting to preexisting footwear we recommend that you have done less than 50 miles in them.
