The price was right, so I thought I would give them a try.
I can’t believe how much better my feet feel, and how much better control I have.
Absolutely work as advertised and worth several times the cost. They have changed my relationship with my ski boots and have elevated my skiing and the fun I'm having on the slopes. I highly recommend the liner sleeves!
This is really well designed. You hold it in your hand and it’s dense material and transfers your energy well. So…it works! It gives you great leverage. As I younger skier, boots were always stiff and shell were bulky…my new boots are stiff and light. The leverage I get from this saves me from straining. Then just toss it in the boot bag.
I’m finding it VERY difficult to put on my boots after installing the liner sleeve. The skiing experience was good - the boot fit felt much more snug and my feet didn’t move around at all. Also, the liner seems to have improved the arch support. My boots are 20+ years old but they’re warm and comfortable for me. I ski about 15-20 days per year and hoping to get some more years with them.
Hi Jonathan,
If you have not seen it yet, please take a look at our new product, the Shuvvie!
This will completely solve your issue and help get your boots on easily. It is the perfect thing to combine with the sleeve as you get best of both worlds!
I have been skiing for 50 years and work in ski shops throughout high school and collage and have extensive boot fitting experience. I put these beds in a brand new pair of boots thinking I was going to be in pain all day and constantly unbuckling my boots in the lift line. I WAS SO WRONG! I only had to make one little adjustment to the tongue. First time ever with a non custom molded and ground footbed and I still had the same feel and performance I was use to. Highly recommend these!
My original foot pads left much to be desired. I don't think you would call them footbeds. A friend suggested I purchase Patriot footbeds. I ordered a pair and my boots fit so much better and are more comfortable now.
I have a very nice pair of boots that are just a little too big. Bought the heel lock and volume reducer combo and they are completely transformed. I figured this solution would get me through the season but I don't know why I couldn't stick with this setup indefinitely. Awesome products.
Helped contour around my heel and ankle and took up the negative space that my liner didn’t.
Worked great! I was skeptical at first I’ve been through several snowboard boots. With my high arches it kept my foot solid in place. Definitely recommend
Boots fit so much better and are very comfortable. I highly recommend Patriot Footbeds,
I love how the velcro sounds! If only we could could could get more snowww up on the mountans
been using these for about a month, really holds the ankle heel at back of the boot, highly recommend!!
I wish I had the shuvvie back when I was coaching in Canada in minus 35 degrees celsius. Nowadays I rely on it every day I ski. I wouldn't go on a ski trip without it. It's a must have—great time saver when helping the kids too, especially on those cold days.
Patriot is a first class company!! I accidentally ordered the wrong size footbeds for my son and had to rectify the situation immediately due to my son’s impending ski trip. Patriot notified me they remedied the problem and sent the correct size to me as I was placing the item I. Return mail! This is above and beyond the call of duty for customer service!!! Thank you Patriot Footbeds for your outstanding customer service and the support and TLC YOU GIVE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS! Forever a customer!!!!
The product makes sense but it does not work if you have high volume boots to fit your fat feet. It renders the easy entry useless and reduces the volume back to a regular fit and then some.
I got these tongue shims for my race boots (Atomic Redsters) because the fit of my cuffs wasn't as tight as I wanted it to be (even with the booster strap). I followed the instructions and preheated them with a blow dryer before sticking them on. I also added a 4 beads of superglue for good measure. The fit is now perfect (i.e. tighter without changing the forward lean of the boots) and the shims haven't budged after 16 + hours of shredding. I am very pleased with this product.
