Road shoe insoles??

[bikenut2010]

There are a few systems out there i've seen to compensate for high or low arches etc, but if it's only the ball of your foot over the cleat, then can it make any difference?
My feet are giving me problems over the cleat area ( SPDs ) so I'm switching to Look style to distribute the load more, but sole is still sensitive, wondering whether a couple of quid for a small gel pad above the cleat will do the same job as a 25 quid pair of 'sculpted' insoles? any comments or recommendations?? :?

It sound silly, but are your shoes to tight ? Even a little bit more space can make all the differance.

No they are fine, even a little on the generous size, :-|

I have been using Superfeet insoles for about 5 years and can confirm that they work. I had a bike fit session and they recommended them. I also spent £250 on a bespoke set but they were no better than the Superfeets.

Superfeet is the brand name, but they are a rigid design and I believe that I have seen very similar in hiking/camping shops under other brands.

can you post a link to the type you have then? i had some walking shoe insoles for a while but wasn't aware of any therapeutic effect apart from the obvious of an extra layer..

As far as I can tell, defeet only do socks these days (my footbeds are 5 years old). I can only assume that they didnt sell well in the cycling world. I wont ride without them now though.

snow & rock - £50 custom insoles . . .

I had some custom fit insoles made for me at S&R a few weeks ago - perfect!
