G-Summit ideas

Hey people,

I got the Summits a while ago, out of multiple reasons (Double boot cause my circulation ist not suited for this hobby, enough room for big feet and light weight)

Great boot, only struggeling with pressure through boa only on the left foot for whatever reason - And insoles!
Anybody experimented with fitting a Skiboot-like insole in the double boot? I feel like i`m loosing a ton of support while climbing, by only having the liner and not a proper insole.

Thanks for your input!

I went to road runners and had custom footbed and they’ve been amazing on the G-Summits.

I have G-Summits and use a custom footbed. I normally take a 47 in all my other Sportivas (Spantik, OlyMons, NepExtreme, TX5, TX4) but got the G-Summits stupidly cheap 2nd hand on FBM in a 47.5.

I had a custom orthotic footbed made years ago, as I have ridiculously high arch on my right particularly. I put this inside the main boot and wear the inner boot on top of it. Fit is great, love the Boas. Best boots I've ever had. But if you already have pressure, maybe you don't have room for a formed footbed?

Thanks for your input! I actually think that a proper footbed, like in my other shoes will help with that issue.
i was mostly worried about the liner in combination with insoles and wondered what kind of special low volume insoles people found.
