Frequently Asked Questions

What insoles are best for cycling?

Before choosing the best insoles for cycling shoes you need to first of all, work out which category of cycler you consider yourself to be. For the more avid enthusiast and professionals, it’s likely that you use cycling cleats on a road bike and require cycling shoe inserts whereas, for the more casual consumer or BMX rider, your standard insoles will more than suffice. For the former, more serious riders, cycling insoles (or slim fit orthotic insoles) offer a much better experience. These insoles are Podiatrist-designed and shaped to contour footwear which is typically thinner than your average. A slim fit ensures rider comfort and insole effectiveness by fitting the shape of your cycling shoe/cleats and, the resulting arch support aligns your foot which can lead to improved muscle efficiency and reduced joint stress/impact reduction.

Why is arch support important when cycling?

It goes without saying, the arch of the foot is one of a cycler’s body parts which receives the most amount of pressure and physical stress while riding. Movement inside of footwear, excessive pronation plus the tension of constantly pressing down against the force of the pedals/chain can very likely lead to pain, discomfort and even conditions like Plantar Fasciitis. In order to help prevent these things from happening due to overuse and the stress on your feet, the arch of the foot needs all of the support and stability assistance it can get to ease this added pressure.

Will orthotic insoles help alleviate pain, or prevent?

The best cycling insoles should have the capacity to do both of these things! The added support and shock absorption provided by orthopaedic insoles in general (and cycling insoles specifically) can help with existing foot pain and can also prevent it from becoming an issue in the first place.
