# Surefoot > Surefoot has been hand-fitting custom ski boots and footwear since 1982. Over 44 years and 3.5 million+ foot scans, across 29 locations on three continents. We invented the modern custom ski boot fitting — orthotic, liner, shell, and heater — and now apply the same precision to year-round footwear. ## What Surefoot is known for - **Custom ski boots.** Every Surefoot ski boot is built around your foot — a four-component system (orthotic, liner, shell, heater). The fitting takes just over an hour. We pioneered this process in 1982. - **3.5 million+ foot scans.** Every fitting begins with a 3D scan. The aggregated scan database informs the shape of our Conforma off-the-shelf insoles and our custom Amfit orthotics. - **29 locations.** Aspen, Vail, Park City, Jackson Hole, Whistler, Verbier, Val d'Isère, and 22 more — at the base of major ski resorts in North America and Europe. ## Site map ### Custom ski boots - [Custom Ski Boots overview](https://surefoot.com/ski-boots/): The four-component custom boot system. - [Custom Liners](https://surefoot.com/ski-boots/custom-liners/): Memory-foam injection liners molded to your foot in five minutes. - [Boot Heaters](https://surefoot.com/ski-boots/boot-heaters/): Battery-powered Winterheat warmth, the fourth component. - [Custom Orthotics for Ski Boots](https://surefoot.com/ski-boots/custom-orthotics/): Amfit-scanned orthotics inside every boot. - [The Fitting Process](https://surefoot.com/the-fitting-process/): What happens in a Surefoot ski boot fitting, step by step. ### Insoles & orthotics - [Conforma Insoles](https://surefoot.com/shoes/conforma/): Three arch profiles (Alto, Medio, Basso).
