INSOLES & BRACES
An alpine touring ski boot is not as good as it could be without proper boot fitting and an a pair of off the shelf or custom insoles. We have an informative video review of just why this is as well as written reviews of insoles from Sidas and SOF Sole Insoles. Equally important is supporting your body and any injuries you may have, this is where support products like Zamst braces come into play. Give them a try and let us know if you agree with us?
