- I agree!! I just had some custom footbeds made while I was in Telluride.
- They were $85 (although there were others a bit more expensive). I have a
- very high instep and high arch, and clamping down on the boot adjustments
- caused my toes to go numb. The footbeds made a world of difference!

- The shop I went to in Telluride is called "Screamin Doggies". (What a name
- , huh?) It's located at the Coonskin lift base facility. I was totally
- impressed with the technician who worked with me. He was very
- knowledgeable, and really demonstrated the skill level mentioned above.
