A moldable article that can be custom-fitted to a particular user. Such an article
comprises a thermoplastic material such as ethylene vinyl acetate modified by an
antistatic agent selected from the group consisting of polyol amines such as ethoxylated
amines, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, phosphoric acid esters, quaternary ammonium
salts, and amphoteric compounds such as betaine. The article is heated until the
thermoplastic material softens, then pressed against a user's body part. The article
is allowed to cool, resulting in a custom-fitted article. Such articles may be
repeatedly re-heated and re-molded and may include, e.g., moldable footbeds, racquet
handles, shin guards, helmets, and seats.
