Standard insole
Standard insoles don’t provide adequate arch support. As a result, pedalling forces are concentrated on the big toe and first metatarsal, leading to discomfort and pain.
Why use insoles in cycling shoes?
Cycling shoes are meant to conform to your foot with a stiff platform to improve your pedalling effciency. But without proper foot support, pushing the pedals can take its toll on your feet, sometimes causing pain, pressure and discomfort.
Standard insoles don’t provide adequate arch support. As a result, pedalling forces are concentrated on the big toe and first metatarsal, leading to discomfort and pain.
inForm BioDynamic insoles are engineered to deliver complete foot support, dispersing pedalling forces evenly across the ball of the foot to improve comfort and pedalling.
Which arch is best for me?
The goal of the insole is to properly support a rider’s natural arch shape. Excessive arch collapse commonly shows itself in the form of pain on the inside of the foot and the inside knee. Choosing the correct arch height will ensure that your foot is properly supported for your unique anatomy and will relieve any pain commonly found while riding. Trek has made three arch heights to accommodate the most common foot profiles for low, mid and high arches.
Arch Index 1 is designed for riders with ‘flat feet’ or a naturally low arch height.
