Sidas In-Soles @ Cycle-Ops

About SIDAS Comformable Insoles

The idea for Sidas personally shaped insoles was originally conceived by three Ski instructors in 1975 - and they produced one of the first moulded footbed systems for skiing.
In 1985 they added therapeutic solutions for professional orthotics, under the PODIATECH trademark.
The range has since been expanded to include specifc insoles tailored towards different sports and uses.

At Cycle ops we can now offer you this technology, including a wide range of fully customised "Comformable" insoles, for use in cycling, walking, running and golfing - or just for those who are on their feet all day!

Why do I Need Personalised Custom Insoles

- The weight of your entire body is borne on just a few square centimetres.
Using an In-Sole that is fitted to your foot distributes the pressure uniformly and will eliminate excessive pressure - which is the source of common complaints such as muscle cramps, rubbing, and blisters.

- Your feet are one of a kind and just like you, unique. Your shoes however are not...
Customised In-Soles are the link between your foot and the shoe. They stabilise and maintain your foot laterally and longitudinally, thus helping prevent "muscular collapse" i.e. sprains, aches, discomfort and pain.

- Because your foot is the foundation of your body, its position has an impact on your entire posture.
In whatever you do, be it Cycling, Running, Hiking, Golfing, Working, or just nipping to the shops - it is important to maintain a perfect harmony between all of your bodies components by ensuring their alignment.
Using a fitted insole rebalances your mucular chains and helps reposition the skeletal system correctly. In turn this can prevent pain, injury, and damage to your joints.
For example - A foot that is not "stable" and supported correctly will result in excessive rotation of the knees, which will have an impact on the entire body, often resulting in pain in the knees, hips, back and spine.

How will Sidas insoles help me on the Bike?

- They will optimise your position on the bike. Resulting in better muscular coordination and thus more power on each pedal stroke.
- They will help align your knees and safeguard your body. Helping prevent, or preventing possible injury to your muscles and tendons.
- They will stabilise the foot and support it in the best possible position inside the shoe. Reducing, or eliminating the risk of rubbing, blisters, and cramp.
They will provide you with Support, Comfort, and Alignment. Resulting in complete transfer of your effort into the bike, in short - Smoother pedaling, and better power transfer to the pedal will be the result.
