Ollie's hair is trying to strike out and become it's own person

Maybe it needs it's own show? The GCN fringe? 😂

I can't wait for the update for two main reasons: (1) How was the adaptation - how long does Ollie think it took him; and (2) Has Ollie become painful in other areas (eg, inner thigh, etc) due to the orthotics correcting his tracking / ride posture (as different muscles adapt to the new tracking/body movement positions)? And consequently, how long did it take for that pain to subside (as those muscles adapt and get used to the new position)?

I love it.. when Ollie said "So what you've effectively got... is a carbon exoskeleton that encapsulates the foot.." All I had in my head was " You've got a carbon clog!!"

I had orthotics made by this chap. After a short adjustment period, my shoes no longer rub against the cranks and my knees track straighter. My feet are particularly pronated, so the shoes are pretty tight with the orthotics, but I’m very happy overall.

you just know that Ollie slowly caressed those shoes and whispered the words my precious with that fixated possessed look of the cycle nerd with an elevated heart rate and sweat slowly rolling down his back when he was off camera.

I bet the Dutch team already have these in wood

I've been using Ice Hockey moulded insoles, since my first pair of clip-on's. Just heat them in an oven, install them in your bike shoes, and let them mold to your feet. Affordable and it works!

I recently bought some new cycling shoes and found some new-in-box shoes on eBay. When they arrived, the retail stick of $499 was still on them. I had no idea that cycling shoes could be so good. They hold so comfortable but tight with two BOA devices.

I had a lot of trouble with foot pain, especially on the outside edge of both feet. I would get terrible cramps. I know I have quite flat feet, so I applied the same thing I do to walking and running shoes and supported my arches better. I also had to get a shoe that fit my foot well. It was all quite expensive, but totally worth it. I went from riding 30 miles at a time to doing my first century in a few months.

I’ve used orthotic inserts for about 5 years. They’re pricey up front, about £400 for two pairs - one full length pair for my cycling shoes and a half pair for my daily shoes. I’ve been very pleased with them.

I got these orthotics from Mik about 3 years ago and it made a huge difference to comfort. Adaptation was super easy, did 4 hours first ride and then just used them after that all the time. I move them from shoe to shoe (gravel, track and road.) Well worth the money.

I was having major issues with foot pain and toe numbness when riding. Custom orthotics have been a god send to allow me to continue to ride and be more comfortable doing it.

178g per shoe or per pair? Otherwise it isn’t super light, S-Works Exos weight 150g a shoe and are quite some years old already, also Giro have a super light laced one or the Mavics

I have "SuperFeet" insoles in my walking boots and they help with the miles for sure. AND they are only about £40. Wonder if these would be ok on the bike too. They certainly have plenty of arch support built in and you can get them in Carbon too :) Interesting video though

I have green superfert also. They wear out eventually. I moved to a carbon instep/sole with replaceable forefoot padding. That way the most expensive part of the insert remains. The replaceable part is $20.

Yadda, Yadda, Yadda. You know it, I know it. Any high profile Pro(s) aren’t paying full price or anything for these one-off beauties. The other is. And most important. These shoes are not the secret sauce. It’s talent that works hard. Peace

It has been shown that supporting the arch in your food with shoes actually contributes to the breakdown of the arch. Its like taking a nutrient and your body stops making that nutrient. So the come away is supporting your arch will contribute to the breakdown of your arch. No big deal? Lot bigger than you would think. Anywho good stuff, and that's no reason to not keepemcoming.

I do have arches that collapses and since I've been using special insoles for everyday walking and everything else I do standing, I can't live without them anymore.

I hate you for those custom orthotics!!!!

No matter what you do if your feet don't feel good, it affects everything else you do. Most shoes have a collar around the back of the heel that goes over the achilles tendon to hold your foot in the shoe, the carbon fiber shoes don't have that. Looks like it could make a blister to me. I would lift my heel right out of there, I wonder how he deals with that.

Soooo....it's a carbon fiber clog. Got it. Given the shoe has zero flex or give, I can't imagine it would be comfortable.

Given it is moulded to YOUR foot, it shouldn’t need any give. The lack of flex would be a nightmare to walk in, but then again it is a cycling shoe for track and TT

Given that the videos are made in the UK, with UK presenters, it seems reasonable to assume they might focus on a business based in the UK. However, the guy running it sounds like he’s Australian. Stefan Bisseger (whose shoes were featured) is Swiss. And a number of other World Tour pros seem to be using either the shoes or just the orthotics. So to answer your question, ‘Who (is) willing to spend?’, quite a lot of people.
