Hey gang since we are talking about a subject close to my heart. I would like to throw some wood on this fire. Most simply put there are two things that need to happen no matter how you do it.
First, get the ski flat on the snow. (external canting)
This is where cuff alignment and external canting in any form, grinding, cantology, or any boot shell changes made come in to get the ski flat relative to shape of the leg. This is what 99% of the conversation revolves around.
Second, get the foot flat inside the boot (internal canting) If this gets 1% of the conversation I would be surprised
This is the grey area around foot beds, and what they can or "cant" do that needs to be talked about. The opportunity to get the foot flat for those that need it, is a huge opportunity that IMHO the industry has glossed over and has paid little to no attention to. The problem is that people think that just a foot bed fixes the problem. Not exactly, arch support does little to solve the problem for someone that suffers with 3 to 6 degrees of it. which by the way represents about 80% of humans Being the guy that is trying to bring the conversation into the light, 3 pages of posts on the subject and almost nothing was mentioned about this subject is usual.
The key to this pronation problem is that its different for everyone. Different for each foot. The interesting thing is that most people suffer from this condition to one degree or another. Most highly qualified ski pros, and elite racers don't. In testing I have done, 70% or ski pros fall into the less than 2.5 degrees of pronation pool. 99% or former and current PSIA demo team members have exactly 1.5 degrees, which is exactly what you need. They are born to ski. So when you suggest that there is a problem with excessive pronation it often gets thrown into the, its not a problem pool by the decision makers who don't actually need this sort of help. They could never imagine a world of 3,4, 5 or even 6 degrees of pronation inside a boot. Well the truth is it may be the difference for most beginners that are struggling to learn. In Aspen we use internal canting for the terminal beginners. It has made a huge difference in our success rates with these folks.
Hope this inspires fresh conversation
