Cyclists, if your insoles look like this then there is something that needs addressing!
Ideally your feet will sit comfortably in your shoe with relaxed toes and feeling even contact between all of your metatarsal heads and the pedal.
Depending on what we find, a combination of custom footbeds, leg length shims or forefoot/ rear foot wedges may be required to help the rider achieve this feeling - oh and shoes that are a sensible shape for your foot!
In some cases, the issue stems from ‘off the bike’ too- this client had a history of a serious traumatic injury which definitely contributed.
We evolved to walk and run- not to pedal so the bike presents us with some interesting challenges when it comes to our feet!
