Formthotics blue molded, I´m never going back to standard insoles.

Do the Fizik / Sidas insoles have to be molded in a shop with their specific oven or can you mold them yourself @ home in a conventional oven ?

I ended up just laying them upside down in a preheated oven for 4-5 minutes at 175F. Placed in shoe and strapped things down. Can't say if it gave the same result as the store but it did take a shape. Most likely the arch support may not be as high but overall it seemed to work without destroying anything..
:P

I "think" you can make a mold in gypsum, clay or similar if you are up to it?

Perhaps use a hair dryer or oven to make the soles ready to get baked.

Or check a runners lab if they got these tools to make and bake soles.

Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)

I use specialized ++.
(you can measure your foot's arch and choose right one)

and I think next shoes, I go for custom insole
