Sole Ed Viesturs Signature Edition Footbed
Looking for footbeds that’ll work for your mountaineering expeditions? How about Ed Viesturs’ footbeds? Since Viesturs’ actual footbeds are pretty used (climbing the world’s 14 tallest peaks without bottled oxygen’ll do that), we offer the Sole Ed Viesturs Signature Edition Footbed. You can count on the heat-moldable orthopedic base layer to support your unique foot shape, which in turn improves the alignment of your ankles, knees, hips, and back. And that reduces risk of injury. A perforated, wicking top reduces weight and moisture build-up.
Bottom Line: Summiting peaks one step at a time.

Good Fit......IF!

I picked these up for a little better fit in my Nepal Evo's. They do give you a more comfortable, more custom fit feeling. The only downside I have is that, especially in the heel, they take up too much room. Especially in my Nepal Evo's, as the heel sinks back in quite far, these didn't work. I like the idea and the feel of them so I stuck them in my Glacier Evo's for general use and they're perfect. My advice is just to be sure you have the room in your boots and especially in the heel region. Great concept though.
Are these 'soles' trimmable like other brands ?? ie,

Yes. Pull out the insoles the shoe comes with and overlay it on these and then cut to fit.

The heat and fit works great. I was lucky and did not have to trim at all (size 12US / 46EU). The heel does take more room and is a ton stiffer than stock insoles so hopefully you sized up on the boot. I have a rebuilt ACL + microfratcure repaired knee & my Montrail Torre GTXs would give me a ton of lingering knee pain after anything 1 hour plus on the trail. Sharp contrast to Montrail Hurricane Ridge - no pain & the ultimate crappy weather run shoe. I've tried the Viesturs soles in both my Torre's and Sportiva Makalu - perfect fit in both. I now have a great, custom, cushioned fit, but it's not squishy & feels like it will last. Time will tell.
Change me.
