Feet
The foot was not designed for cycling. It tends to distort and twist through the pedal stroke due to midfoot movement required for walking. In addition the foot needs a greater surface area to provide improved comfort and power transfer through the pedal stroke.
Casting
Our casting process uses an equinus wedge to produce a foot profile that matches the contour of all cycling shoes (look at the sole of your cycling shoe as it tapers at the midsole). This is crucial as it removes pressure points and stops annoying orthotic movement inside the shoe.
Materials
We use a 3mm dual density eva foam over the streamlined carbon shell.
eva foam layering
The dual density foam is comprised of a firm hard wearing upper layer and a softer, more pliant under-layer for improved vibration damping on those rough highway roads.
The combination of materials is lightweight – weighing around 37 grams for a size 43 Cobra9. Most cycling shoes weigh in around 250 grams per shoe and a pedal around 120 grams.
