None of the Pmts ers on the forum have come out and said it, but........
HH has advocated for non rigid footbeds since the get go..

Being able to use the ankle in the boot to initiate the turn, rather than the knee, is the
basis of the "kinetic" chain in his pedagogy.

My personal experience with cork custom footbeds was pretty bad.
Pain, cramps and foot fatigue.Oh, and a really bad wedge problem, but that's a whole 'nother story.

The bootfitter in Banff with WC clients sounds like she has the same belief as HH in how the foot/ankle need to be able to work in the boot.

Happy New Year!
