This is an odd one, and not sure if it should be here, in Ski School, or in Hardware. Has anyone tried using textured insoles to enhance balance and learning, either for yourself or for your students? The thought was triggered by a post in Hardware,
My response was a bad joke, saying he probably doesn't sit back now. (Uncle-A gave me a like, whew). I also noticed this post in Ski School, in response to @Fishbowl,
Then, I got thinking about a book I read, Born to Run. Some runners run in their bare feet. The idea is that our soles are highly sensitive, and designed to give us feedback to keep good form, which reduces injury. So, I started looking for pegged insoles, nail-bed insoles, and finally came across textured insoles. Google it. Lots of research. I'm thinking that heightened perception of our feet will help us develop balance more quickly, and promote learning.
Well, I tipped my skis down and took the plunge. Ordered soles from

and from

1. Anyone tried a sole like this.
2. Anyone want to join me this season in trying textured soles?
3. Thank you @Uncle-A

I was knocked off the ladder and shattered both of my heels. It changed my life and effects me every day, especially my skiing.

We were talking to @Dan Egan and his ski clinic program. ... We asked Dan what and how he teaches and he replied with one simple sentence "We teach skiers to ski in balance".
