takes getting used to, but so worth it

The first century I rode, it felt like my toes were broken, with numbness for 2 days. I use those same shoes, but with the green footbeds now. I can spend 7 hours on the saddle, and ride the next morning now!

The metatarsal button is intolerable

I purchased these insoles based on local bikeshop recommendations. I find the metatarsal button to be intolerable - like having a big wedge cutting off your circulation. After a week of persisting thinking that the insoles would "break in," I have had to give up. My foot and leg were completely numb just from indoor spinning class. If Specialized made an insole without the metatarsal button, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Awesome BG Footbeds

Great fitting footbed for my brand new road cycling shoes, I have medium to high arches so I needed a good footbed to support my feet and provide good stability these fit the shoe perfectly! I like these a lot so I bought more for my other cycling shoes! What a big difference these footbeds make!!

Surprisingly more comfortable over long distances.

I'm using Specialized Torch 2.0 shoes, which are comfortable for me, but after several hours of cycling my feet start to go numb. I thought I'd try the footbed and it's great. It supports the arch of my foot and it hasn't gone numb since. It's thicker than a normal footbed.

Note that the colors denote different levels of support

I didn't realize this until they arrived in the mail, but the different colors denote different levels of support. There are little plus signs, either 1, 2, or 3, on the different colors, and those denote moderate, medium, and strong support. I wish the description on the web site made that clear.

Perfect for Narrow Feet & High Arches

I have a narrow foot and a high arch so its often hard for me to get cycling shoes to fit right; these inserts are the answer! They fit perfectly in Specialized shoes and I have trimmed them to fit Sidi as well; they make an immediate difference in terms of fit and support. For me, given my foot profile, these are a requirement in any cycling shoe. If you have a high arch, buy these, your feet will thank you.

Somewhat pricey but pain free

Somewhat pricey but pain free feet are priceless. I use them in bike shoes and they stopped the foot pain I was having. I also started putting them in walking shoes and found they stopped the foot pain I was having on walks but especially treadmill walking and even treadmill jogging. They are very stiff so ensure you have the correct arch height by wetting your feet and stepping on a surface that will leave an imprint. Smooth cement like a garage floor or construction paper, black seems to work the best.

I have used Specialized Body Geometry footpads for over 10 years. They are great when used with the appropriate Specialized internal foot wedge insert. I have used them in both Specialized shoes and Sidi shoes (my feet need extra wide and the Sidi meets that requirement). I remove the Sidi foot pad in the brand new shoe, transfer the wedge and install the new Specialized foot pad, the feel is great. From time to time, as the Specialized foot pad wears out, I install new Specialized foot pads and, again, my feet love them. Good feet equals good ride!

Knee pain greatly reduced

I am a seasoned rider that has a ACL replacement and some meniscus tears from high school sports. I ride/race XC and CX and train with road miles. My bikes have been professionally fit. I developed some knee pain from too many miles this past year. I thought I was looking at another surgery and tried these inserts along with 1.5mm wedges in my non-Specialized shoes. After a few rides, the knee pain is greatly reduced to almost gone completely. I think my arches were collapsing on long rides and heavy (racing) efforts and that was leading to the knee pain. Time will tell but these made a big improvement for relatively little money.

If Feet Could Smile

First, get to your Specialized LBS and get your feet scanned. They use a device similar to the one you sit on for Saddle Sizing except you stand on it. From this you'll know which model is for you. After that enjoy your Happy Feet. Totally eliminated the numbness I was getting on longer rides from lack of arch support. The stock foot-beds are RED's, I'm borderline BLUE/GREEN so I use BLUE's in my harder sole shoes (Expert XC MTB) and GREEN in my softer sole shoes (2F0's). If you're having foot issues do yourself a favor and get fitted and get them under your feet.
