How to upgrade your cycling and running shoes....

Pretty much every cycling (or running) shoe we purchase comes with inserts that are flimsy and ineffective. At Athleticamps, we create custom heat-molded shoe inserts from Footbalance, which can significantly benefit cyclists and runners by providing improved support, comfort, and performance during training and racing. Everyone's feet - even your own - are different, and even off the shelf inserts don't provide adequate fit and support that a custom insole can provide. Here's how Footbalance can help:

Personalized Support and Alignment:
Custom heat-molded inserts are designed to fit the unique contours of your feet. They can address specific issues such as overpronation, supination, arch support, and alignment problems, providing a more personalized and supportive fit.

Enhanced Comfort:
Custom inserts are molded to your foot shape, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit inside your cycling and running shoes. This helps in reducing pressure points and distributing the weight of your foot more evenly, ultimately enhancing comfort during long rides.

Improved Stability and Efficiency:
Proper foot alignment and support can contribute to better stability and power transfer while cycling and running. Custom inserts can help align your foot and ankle, ensuring a more efficient pedal stroke and minimizing energy wastage through unnecessary movement or improper alignment.

Reduction of Fatigue and Discomfort:
By providing the right support and cushioning, custom inserts can reduce foot fatigue and discomfort during extended rides and runs. They can absorb shock and vibrations, offering a smoother and less jarring experience, especially on rough terrains.

Injury Prevention:
Proper foot alignment and support can help prevent injuries such as shin splints, knee pain, Achilles tendonitis, and other foot-related issues. Custom inserts can provide the necessary stability and alignment to minimize the risk of these injuries.

Optimized Performance:
By improving comfort, support, and stability, custom inserts can optimize your cycling and running performance. When your feet are properly supported and aligned, you can focus more on your cycling and running technique and put in more effort without being distracted by foot discomfort.

In summary, customized heat molded Footbalance inserts can help improve comfort and performance in training and racing. They last 2-3+ years and only take about 10 minutes to make!
