Why Your Feet Need Help on the Bike
The foot can be divided into three areas: the rearfoot (heel), the midfoot, and the forefoot. The rearfoot is the engine room of the foot, while the mid and forefoot area serves as the transmission and suspension system.
These flexible and changeable features make the foot perfect for walking and running. But with the (in evolutionary timelines) recent development of the bicycle, our feet are inefficient at transmitting power from our legs into the crankshaft of our bikes.
This is where a cycling shoe and the P.Ride Cycling Orthotic come into play — stiffening and altering the way the foot moves inside a cycling shoe to increase efficiency.
How It's Made
By taking the shape of your foot and then using your own biomechanical characteristics, we can stiffen and alter the way the foot moves inside a cycling shoe to increase efficiency.

3D scan of your feet to fabricate an orthotic that perfectly contours your foot

Performance Benefits
Improved Power Transfer
By stiffening and stabilising the foot inside the cycling shoe, the P.Ride increases efficiency of power transfer from your legs into the crankshaft.
Faster Times
As the kilometres build up, the improved efficiency leads to improved performance and less fatigue at submaximal riding levels.
Reduced Injury Risk
A properly supported foot reduces compensatory movements that can lead to knee, hip, and lower back pain during long rides.
Maximum Comfort
Custom contoured to your foot with a soft top cover, the P.Ride fits snug inside cycling shoes for all-day comfort on the bike.
Ultralight Materials
Fabricated using carbon fibre or 3D printed nylon, the P.Ride adds minimal weight while maximising structural support.
Custom Prescription
Each device is prescribed based on your biomechanics, cycling history, and performance goals for a truly personalised solution.

Frequently Asked
Questions.
Won't the orthotic add weight to my cycling setup?
+A P.Ride Cycling Orthotic does have mass, although incredibly minimal due to the materials used. Also, this mass is offset by removing the incumbent liner that sits inside a standard cycling shoe as well as improving efficiency. The net effect is better performance, not added weight.
Can I use my running orthotics for cycling?
+Running, walking and cycling are completely different movements. Running orthotics are designed to control movement and absorb impact, while cycling orthotics focus on stiffening and stabilising parts of the foot to increase power transfer. Using the wrong type can reduce performance and increase injury risk.
How much does a P.Ride Cycling Orthotic cost?
+The devices vary slightly depending on the materials used. A custom-made orthotic fitted to your cycling shoes and prescribed to your own needs will cost $570. If your private health insurance includes podiatry coverage and there is a clinical indication, you will likely receive funding for a significant proportion of your devices.
Can I get private health insurance rebates?
+If your private health insurance includes podiatry coverage and there is a clinical indication for your orthotic prescription, then you will likely receive funding for a significant proportion of your devices. We can advise you on this during your consultation.
