can incorporate any forefoot wedging into an custom
orthotic specially built for a cycling shoe.
Sage cyclists joke that your seat can be heavy, but your
pedals can't. Dynamic weight—in your pedals, wheels,
footbeds—anything moving needs to be as light as pos-
sible. Static weight is less important. Expert level road
shoes have a very tight & precise fit. Cycling orthotics
must be thin, rigid and light.
Leg length discrepancy due to injury is best handled by
expert fitters or medical professionals. In my ski town,
post–operative leg length differences are common and
known by most people down to the millimeter–making
it easy to build any custom work required.
As cycling grows, so can your profit from this great
activity. Pedorthics is not only a medical requirement
for many individuals, it bridges the gap to performance
minded riders who are looking to get the best possible
performance from their gear. Everyone needs a custom
cycling orthotic, it's a no guilt sale. Cyclists have the
advantage of lightweight materials, GPS route tim-
ers and the best in dietary and nutrition science. We
should all have the pedorthic advantage that allows
for biomechanics to give them the best possible perfor-
mance and enjoyment. •
HAPPY RIDING!
