- DON'T pay $30 for a skiamericard. They can be gotten for free at most
- places here in (Boycott!) Colorado. I believe you can get a much better
- deal on the card by just calling them up. Before the free deal, I
- (regrettably) paid $15 for a couples card. Even ignoring the new free
- price, it wasn't worth it.
-
- To answer your question, I just bought some new boots and got custom
- insoles made. I think they are called SuperFeet. They do improve the
- fit of my boots noticeably (the sales guy claimed I had strong pronation
- [flattening of the feet] and that the insoles would help me a lot. Many
- other people have told me that custom insoles are well worth the money.
-
- However, I'm now having problems with minor cramping in my arches. I
- haven't yet determined if it's just the new boots breaking in, the custom
- insoles, or what. I'm still playing with boot adjustments to try to rectify
- the problem.
