Best Fit in Ski Boots
Whether you are enjoying a beautiful day with the family or you are doing jump turns above exposure, Surefoot Orthotics are the first step in creating a proper fit inside your ski boots. The orthotics will hold your feet in the strongest position and as a result your ski day will be more enjoyable.
Great Comfort
Many skiers are still under the old impression that ski boots have to be uncomfortable. Due to our new technologies we are able to eliminate the discomforts of the past. Many of these issues were a result of the arch collapsing as the skier gets on the inside edge. Surefoot Ski Orthotics eliminate this movement by holding the foot in neutral which in turn supports all the muscles and ligaments of the foot. As a result the foot will stay centered in the middle of the boot keeping ankle bones and instep bones in the locations the boot manufactures designed them to be in.
Perfect Efficiency
The goal of the ski boot is to transfer energy from the body to the skis. Even the slightest empty space inside the ski boot takes away from how quickly the boot will make the ski turn. It is this wasted space that makes turns more difficult and as a result makes the feet and body tired. The ski orthotic will make sure there is no wasted space under the foot therefore allowing the ski to turn quicker and with more power. The result is better skiing with less effort.

We now have the ability to provide the same comfort and performance that is offered by Surefoot Orthotics without leaving the comfort of your own home.
Have you ever walked on the beach and looked behind you to see perfect replicas of your footprints? This is the idea behind Surefoot’s foam impression boxes. The process is simple and starts once you have received our impression kit in the mail. Follow the straightforward instructions included in the box and your part of the process will be done in only a matter of minutes. Finally, place the foam impression kit back in the shipping box, apply the pre-paid return label, and send it back to us where we will complete the orthotics.
Once Surefoot receives your foam impression kit, we use digital scanners to convert your mold into an image that our milling machines can read. From there, we use the same process that customers experience when getting scanned in our stores. Surefoot’s CAD/CAM milling machines produce the orthotics in about thirty minutes. Your orthotics are then complete and will be shipped to you.

2. Customer Analysis: We start by gathering information about your history and participation in sports. We then analyze your feet, taking into account the nuances of tendons, muscles, ligaments and all 26 bones in each foot.
3. Orthotic Foot Scan: One of our technicians will then ask you to step on to one of our foot scanners. He/She will place your foot in a neutral stance, which is its strongest natural position. Using pressure-sensitive rubber pegs, your foot will be measured by a computer in 538 places. This produces a three-dimensional topographical “map’ of the bottom of your foot.
4. Altering the Orthotic to Your Activity: Once we have scanned the foot in the neutral position, the computer makes modifications to the orthotic depending on your preferred activity of participation. For example, the computer can perfectly place a metatarsal pad for bike shoes or decrease the orthotic’s arch a certain percentage for running shoes.
5. Fabrication: Using your personal computer-generated measurements, orthotics are milled out of EVA blanks on a three-axis CAD/CAM milling machine. This orthotic is then sealed with one of our non-slip Surefoot topsheets that best fits your shoe, body, and the activity that you wish to participate in.
6. The Results: In only thirty minutes, your Surefoot Orthotics will be placed in your athletic or daily footwear and are ready for use.
