Sidas Footbeds at Sail and Ski
All of our staff at Sail and Ski are fully trained to offer you assistance in getting the very best performance and comfort from your boots on the mountain. This is normally achieved through the use of Sidas insoles custom made to cater for the specific shaping of your foot. Below is a run through the basic science proving how vital these footbeds are for maximum enjoyment on the mountain. A Sidas custom footbed supports the foot correctly and is heat moulded to the exact contours of the underside of your foot.
The foot-bed that we stock is the Ski'n blade - The most versatile solution with the Podiaflex® reinforcement integrated. Great for skiing and in-line skating.
Different shapes & volume
The different components that make up the foot can change in volume, length and positioning and also varies between each individual.There exists an infinite number of possible foot shapes and volumes.
Different kinds of movement are present
The foot is constructed around 28 bones, 27 muscles & 33 levels of articular mobility.
When the foot gets tired
As soon as our muscular forces reduce in power through fatigue, the foot tends to collapse and to change shape.The foot is an amazing organ that is constantly supporting the body, adapting to changes in pressure and direction according to thetype of activity and the intensity.
Key points in the solutions:
Stabilising the foot through an interface (footbed) aids the lateral support of the feet, strengthening the feet to minimise the lose in muscle power and flexibility throughout the activity.The risks due to the instability of the foot (sprained ankles, muscle fatigue, pain and rubbing) will be dramatically reduced.
The foot is a sensor
Its on a few square centimeters that the whole weight of our body "presses" on.The pressure that is exerted in this small area will increase with body weight, higher impacts and greater the movements.With such large loads placed through relatively small contact areas, defects in these pressure points can become very uncomfortable depending on intensity and duration of the activity.
Key points in the solutions:
Through identifying potential fitting problems, through visual analysis and the use of the podoscope, a trained technician can offer a solution specific to your individual requirements. The solution will involve a custom footbed designed to equalise the pressure under the foot to provide the right kind of support and comfort for your favorite activity
Good feet, good posture
Our body is a complex framework of articulated bone segments designed to perform motion / movement or to maintain a particular stance.To hold the posture and to perform a movement the body is completely controlled by the muscular chain that exists on both sides of the skeleton.The feet are the base of the body and therefore they have an influence on the way the body is positioned.
Key points in solutions:
We can, with different tests, evaluate a lack of harmony in the posture, and create a re-positioning through an thermo-moulded footbed.As soon as we practice a dynamic activity, it becomes vital to be in harmony between all the components of the body and to respect their alignment.
