Orthotics for Cycling

Custom Cycling orthotics, proper bike fit, cleat alignment, play a huge role in making sure your body is in biomechanical alignment with the mechanics of the bike. Custom cycling orthotics can help re-align the foot on the pedal and assist in preventing injury down the road.

Most cycling shoes are not unlike other neutral shoes in that they are made with very little or no arch support that have a manufacturers insert in that is good for just comfort and not to address other issues such as forefoot pain, also common among cyclists. Without the necessary support the foot will rest on the bottom of the shoe, not only will it most likely be uncomfortable, but the lack of support can lead to unnecessary motion of the feet, ankles, and knees leading to an inefficient pedal stroke. The muscles that control motion of the foot and ankle may be overstressed as they try to control this motion– while also trying to keep the knees aligned.

The use of custom cycling orthotics for your cycling shoes will assist in positioning the feet in the most neutral and efficient position so that energy and power will not be wasted during pedalling, and the likelihood of overuse injuries will be minimized.
