Why specific ski and snowboard insoles make a real difference
Ski or snowboard boots: rigid, snug-fitting, sometimes cold and subject to high stress (pressure, support, weight transfer, long days on the slopes). The original insoles in boots are often neutral — not well suited to the shape of the foot, warmth or support — which can cause discomfort, cold, poor circulation, pressure points, loss of sensitivity or fatigue. A suitable insole completely transforms the experience: it improves comfort, optimises thermal insulation, stabilises the foot, distributes pressure and ensures good support — essential for enjoying skiing or snowboarding to the full.
The advantages of Sidas Ski & Snowboard insoles
- Stability, support and alignment of the foot— Sidas insoles feature an anatomical shape, a shell or arch support, and heel support. This stabilises the foot in the boot, prevents micro-movements, improves control and reduces pain or irritation.
- Transmission & precision of support — When skiing or snowboarding, good foot-insole-boot contact improves responsiveness, allows for more precise support and better control of the skis or board. Optimised Sidas insoles improve force transmission, thereby improving performance and comfort.
- Thermal insulation & comfort in cold conditions — With the right materials, insoles prevent heat loss, reduce cold feet and improve comfort for long days on the mountain.
- Pressure distribution & shock absorption — Thanks to good arch support and sometimes targeted cushioning, insoles prevent pressure points (heel, metatarsals), absorb vibrations, protect joints and maintain comfort even on difficult slopes or during long days.
-
Adaptability to your feet and needs — Sidas offers several sole profiles, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your morphology and avoid discomfort, misalignment or poor posture.
Who is this collection for?
- Regular skiers and snowboarders — recreational, freeride, piste, powder — who want to maximise comfort, precision, support and warmth.
- For those with sensitive feet — poor circulation, numbness, cold extremities, pressure points — who are looking for a sole that provides stability, insulation and support.
- For those who often spend several hours on the slopes, or even the whole day — cushioning, thermal comfort and weight distribution are essential to avoid fatigue or pain.
- For those who want better control, better energy transfer and a smoother, more comfortable experience, whatever the discipline (alpine skiing, snowboarding, freeriding).
Tips for using your insoles correctly
- Remove the original insole before installing the Sidas insole — do not stack insoles to avoid excess thickness and poor fit.
-
Choose the right arch support (flat, medium, high) — this optimises support, posture and overall comfort.
- Cut the insole to the right size if necessary — for a good fit in the boot, good support transmission and to avoid lateral pressure.
-
Combine insoles with suitable socks — good technical socks improve thermal insulation, comfort, foot support and moisture wicking, maximising the effectiveness of the insoles.
- Test gradually — on a first day or short outing, to check comfort, support and fit before setting off on long or intense days.
