ISO new insoles

[OakLeaf]

I think the arch support is too pronounced. Which is kinda weird, since they were totally flat before being heated, and it's not like I used someone else's feet to mold them when they came out of the oven.

Did you mold them weightbearing? You're still using your foot muscles when you pedal, just not as much as when you're standing or walking.

I don't know much about how those things work though - I did used to use the Specialized insoles, but I've learned to focus on four corners of my feet while pedaling as well as off the bike, and it definitely helps my Achilles and knees.

Did you mold them weightbearing?

Yes. After they come out of the oven, you put them in your shoes, put the shoes on your feet, and stand in one place while they mold -- for 10 or 15 minutes, I don't recall exactly.

Late to the game (sorry), but I've been using Superfeet insoles in my cycling shoes for several years. I have the pink ones. Knot recommended them, which is a high endorsement.

Not surprisingly, my ortho "prescribed" them for my other athletic shoes after diagnosing me w/Plantar Fasciitis. The arch isn't too high, unlike the Sole insoles that a different doctor recommended when I had an ankle/plantar injury last year.
