When we looked at products currently on the market, we noted one major flaw: they were being molded the same way that running and skiing footbeds were being made.
Since cycling power input is far more dynamic (and just plain different) than either of these sports, this didn’t make any sense to us.
So we set out to find a better way.
The result was our On-Bike Molding Platform.
Designed specifically to create an insole that works for cycling, the platform puts the cyclist in the power forward position of the pedal stroke. The molding pillow is comprised of a multi-density lay-up, which creates a proper power channel of support for the mid arch to the forefoot. To ensure proper alignment of the talonavicular joint and the knee, we created an alignment wand to fix the knee in the proper position during the molding process, and a pivot plate under the molding pillow which allows us to balance the talonavicular joint.
Certified Foot Technicians can shape the custom molded insole to any thickness and tilt (to adjust for inversion or eversion of the foot) and the Power Plus Platform, which is unique to Cyclesoles™ custom footbeds, provides the insole with enhanced ergonomic arch support, very much like the systems used by orthotists to produce prescription foot orthotics.
Cyclesoles™ are highly technical and highly customized, so the fit process used to create them is critical to their effectiveness.
All authorized Cyclesoles™ dealers complete rigorous training performed in person by Scott Peterson, inventor of the Cyclesoles™ system - a certified Pedorthist and Orthotist with more than twenty years in the industry.
In addition to hands-on training with Scott Peterson, Cyclesoles™ Foot Technicians also attend bi-yearly continuing education programs to maintain certification. This extensive training ensures that your Cyclesoles™ custom insoles are made right every time.
