Sidas Custom Cycling Footbeds

We're obsessed with feet. A well supported foot will improve pedalling and comfort.

A Cyclist's Feet

Cyclefit has always been obsessed with foot control; a well supported foot can:

  • Reduce medial and lateral knee discomfort and improve knee tracking
  • Reduce lower back pain
  • Stabilise the rider on the saddle
  • Improve pedalling dynamics and foot symmetry.
  • Improve power output

A Sidas custom footbed is moulded and made at Cyclefit and will primarily seek to reflect your foot structure to support your foot in its neutral position in the shoe.

We have found over the twenty years at Cyclefit that almost everyone responds positively to foot support in their cycling shoes.

Many issues such as 'hot-foot', knee-alignment, foot-stability, numbness and comfort can be improved with a well made custom footbed.

An appointment takes approximately 45 mins to 1 hour for one pair of fully custom Sidas Conform'able Footbeds and you can get a 10% discount on a second pair using the original mould. Please bring your cycling shoes so the original insole can be used as a template.


A mould of the foot is made in its neutral position and the footbed is trimmed to fit the shoe, this option works best with internal or external wedges.

Saddle height and position optimisation is only possible when a cyclist's feet are correctly supported

"The big revelation has been the new footbeds, already covered just over 1000kms with them and it’s a world away from what I was used to. I just wished I came to you much earlier now! Nick B"

  • "Very very personalised service. You arrive, they expect you, greet you by first name, have checked your file from past visits and set out very clearly what the process will be, what issues they're looking to address and how and they are happy to take the time to walk you through everything in layman's terms. Almost any professional service entity could learn a lot from how Cyclefit works. "

  • "I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"
