Anyone used or using the SOLE "sport thin" footbeds? I have used their footbeds in workboots and they are really awesome especially since they are heat moldable. In order for superfeet arch to line up with my high arch I need an E size but the heel is way to wide which is causing me problems getting my heel locked in.

I used them back a few years ago when I had CCM Vectors. They were Great!
Like a lot of sport footbeds they do have a thicker heel though so I sanded some of the heel down.
The other thing is if you have high arches and heat them the arches will drop somewhat. I did it the "slow way" using a hot hair dryer and time to heat the heal and then once I got that locked in place, I pulled them out and slow heated the front of the footbed for the ball of my foot and toes.
After I was done they were great. Great heel lock, custom front foot AND maintained the high arch support! The extra time was well worth it.

What skates are you wearing now that work with your high arches?
