Book a custom orthotic fitting today

Here at the Body Mechanic, we have fitted hundreds of satisfied cyclists with the pre-fabricated Cobra 9 SemiPro insoles to improve their foot comfort, stability and efficiency. We are pleased to now also offer the Cobra 9 Pro for those who need or want a little extra.

The Cobra 9 Pro is a fully custom cycling orthotic which is perfect for those with irregular foot profiles and those looking for the ultimate in shoe fit. Each Cobra 9 Pro device is uniquely designed and individually customised meaning no pair are the same.

What is the process of getting some custom cycling insoles?

  1. Initial consultation which includes an interview to find out any prior or existing foot issues and assessment of your foot. This is best done as part of an Initial bike fit or Bike fit review, but can also be done in a short stand alone session.
  2. Take impressions of your feet to send off for casting and construction of your custom orthotics.
  3. Once the orthotics are produced, you will return to have them fitted on your bike with cleat adjustment as required

NB. We highly recommend that you have had a relatively recent comprehensive bike fit to rule out issues stemming from poor set up or position.

Why choose custom orthotics for cycling?

Foot pain, hot spots, numb toes, knee tracking issues and arch fatigue are all common problems that can limit your performance and enjoyment on the bike. Many of these issues come from poor support inside your cycling shoes.

Cycling shoes are designed to be stiff and transfer power efficiently, but they don’t always match your individual foot profile. Even a small mismatch can create discomfort, inefficiency, and increase the risk of overuse injuries in your feet, knees, hips or lower back.

Custom orthotics are designed to give your foot the exact support and alignment it needs. This improves comfort, enhances pedalling efficiency, and helps prevent injuries by ensuring consistent power transfer with every pedal stroke.

If you’ve tried to ignore ongoing discomfort in your cycling shoes, or you want to optimise every part of your setup, custom orthotics could be the missing link.

What you’ll get from your custom orthotic fitting

Every rider’s feet are different, so no two custom orthotics will be the same. With the Body Mechanic, your orthotic fitting session will include:

A personalised interview and foot assessment to understand your history, current symptoms, and cycling goals.

Foot impressions that are cast and sent to Cobra9 for the construction of your custom orthotics.

Final fitting and adjustment on your bike to ensure correct alignment and cleat positioning.

Education and advice from an experienced physio so you understand how your new orthotics improve your cycling, and what to expect as you adapt to them.

Your custom orthotics will be uniquely tailored to your feet, helping you to ride more comfortably, reduce the risk of injury, and get the most out of every ride.

Booking an orthotic fitting session is easy – come as early as 8am or as late as 6pm.
