Got my new beds made today! My fitter, Billy Kaplan is awesome. As a pedorthic, he is able to create more of an orthodic foot bed than just a bed that is molded to the shape of the foot (especially if your foot is not "perfect").? As he formed the beds, he used his digital allignment tool to help form the beds to correct allignment issues. This will make the final adjustments much easier and provide a better overall fit. Having the foot sit properly in the bed is a better way to approach allignment. I was really suprised on how they felt. I really felt stacked over my ankles, a good knetic chain. He's also intalling my M4 boot heaters ( a problem with plug boots) and we will do final allignment and adjustments. Whhooooo-hooooo baby, let it snow....

Is Billy still using the Superfeet Korks to make his footbeds?

No he is using his own materials. It more like a conformant but its acutally the same stuff he's making orthodics out of. A really nice cover, noeprene material. You know billy, he's got that shop set up like a NASA prooving ground! Even more tools and toys, The beds are so sweet. I can't believe how dialed in I am and we didn't even make final adjustments yet.
