[at-l] Liners....

I suspect many boot manufacturers realize that the first thing many of us do 
with the stock footbeds is toss them in favor of our own.  We each have our 
own needs and there's no way one stock footbed is going to be able to work 
for all of us.  So, since the stock inserts get tossed anyway, why would 
anyone want to buy orignal stock footbeds when there are so many better 
choices out there.

If you want the manufacturer's stock footbed, go talk to a reputable dealer 
and see if they have extras laying around.  Or call the manufacturer and see 
what they have to say.

Other than that, there are plenty of replacement footbeds that are neither 
cheap nor flimsy.  If you don't want flimsy, try something like Superfeet.  
If the stock Superfeet models don't fit your feet, they do make custom 
versions.

There are other footbed manufacturers out there, too.

If you want any brand new (or nearly new) New Balance inserts in mens sizes 
12.5 to 13 from 963s, 1023s, 806s, 991s, or Dunham Wafflestompers let me 
know.  I've got a bunch that I don't use.
