Cycling Orthotics
Ride stronger. Ride longer. Ride pain-free.
Cycling places unique demands on your feet, legs and body. Whether you are a recreational rider, commuter or competitive cyclist, proper foot support can make a huge difference to comfort, performance and injury prevention.
At Fit Foot Podiatry, we design custom cycling orthotics to support your foot position, improve power transfer and reduce strain while you ride.
What are Cycling Orthotics?
Cycling orthotics are custom-made inserts designed specifically for cycling shoes. Unlike everyday orthotics, they are thinner, stiffer and tailored to the biomechanics of cycling - where your foot remains fixed to the pedal through repetitive motion.
They help optimise:
- Foot alignment
- Pedal efficiency
- Comfort during long rides
Who Can Benefit from Cycling Orthotics?
Cycling orthotics may help if you experience:
- Forefoot pain or numbness
- Heel pain or plantar fasciitis
- Knee, hip or lower back pain while riding
- Hot spots or pressure points in cycling shoes
- Uneven wear on cleats or shoes
- Reduced comfort on longer rides
They are suitable for road cyclists, mountain bikers, commuters and spin riders.
Our Cycling Orthotics Assessment
Your assessment with one of our podiatrists includes:
- A detailed biomechanical assessment
- Foot posture and lower limb alignment assessment
- Discussion of current pain, goals and riding volume
Your orthotics are then custom-made to suit your feet, shoes and riding needs.
Where appropriate, we may also refer you to our trusted network of professional bike fitters if bike setup, cleat position or overall fit is identified as a contributing factor to your symptoms. This collaborative approach helps ensure optimal comfort, performance and injury prevention.
