No one ever said not to get it punched, or not to get it properly fitted, or even buy a new skate. We all suggested those things, and even offered to give him his money back to do so. The footbed is always a starting point, it will obviously not fix the world if the skate is improperly fitted to begin with.

If you have been fitting customs skates, and dont put in a proper footbed, i'd hate to be wasting $900 on a pair of custom skates from you.
Go find any professional Boot/skate fitter or any elite level athlete and see what they put in their cleats/skates/boot what-have-you. I can be sure 100% it wont be some cheap 5 cent piece of foam that comes stock with it.

Again, i am not saying a footbed will fix all your problems, but it is always something to have. After that, custom work to the boot will be done. If you dont think the mechanics of a foot comes into boot/skate fitting and skating itself, then i dont think you should be fitting someone for skates.

*edit
If you really dont like superfeet or a footbed, then dont buy them. Simple as that. We have given our knowledge on the subject, and suggestions on what he can do. If OP doesnt like them, he can refund them, even if cut/used. Thats how much they stand behind their product.
Those podiatrists must have some good scam going on then eh, selling custom foot beds at $400-600 a pop. And i bet those dont work either, just another gimmick...
