A Cyclist's Feet
Cyclefit has always been obsessed with foot control; a well supported foot can:
- Reduce medial and lateral knee discomfort and improve knee tracking
- Reduce lower back pain
- Stabilise the rider on the saddle
- Improve pedalling dynamics and foot symmetry.
- Improve power output
A Sidas custom footbed is moulded and made at Cyclefit and will primarily seek to reflect your foot structure to support your foot in its neutral position in the shoe.
We have found over the twenty years at Cyclefit that almost everyone responds positively to foot support in their cycling shoes.
Many issues such as 'hot-foot', knee-alignment, foot-stability, numbness and comfort can be improved with a well made custom footbed.
An appointment takes approximately 45 mins to 1 hour for one pair of fully custom Sidas Conform'able Footbeds and you can get a 10% discount on a second pair using the original mould. Please bring your cycling shoes so the original insole can be used as a template.
A mould of the foot is made in its neutral position and the footbed is trimmed to fit the shoe, this option works best with internal or external wedges.
Saddle height and position optimisation is only possible when a cyclist's feet are correctly supported

"The big revelation has been the new footbeds, already covered just over 1000kms with them and it’s a world away from what I was used to. I just wished I came to you much earlier now! Nick B"
