Just in!!! Le Tour now has Specialized FootBeds.

Ok we now have the Specialized Footbeds so I can customize you existing shoes. Even ur Crapz0r Lance ones lad.

They all come with a range of Varus and Valgus wedges to give you correct Hip, Knee & Foot alignment, to increase power and minimize the risk of injury.

I need some blue ones. So does Ant.

They come in 3 types +, ++ & +++
+ = Flat foot (These are red and come standard in ALL Specialized BG Shoes.
++ = Stand Foot (This is the most common type that people need.
+++ = High Arch (This type is not so common but is essential for people with high arches to avoid them getting hot feet and hot spots, numbness etc.

Here's some more information from Specialized about these.
Seriously thought I couldn't recommend these highly enough.
They RRP$ 70.

Developed with Andy Pruitt from the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine the Body Geometry Footbed system improves efficiency, increases comfort, and reduces potential injury. This system allows any rider to achieve a semi-custom fit in their cycling shoes, combining advanced insoles with varus/valgus wedge shims to align cant angle.

• By standing on the Specialized ?Arch-O-Meter?, a rider can determine the optimum level of foot contour: Arch-O-Meter
  
  • ?+? = Minimal/Red
    
  • ?++? = Moderate/Blue
    
  • ?+++? = Significant/Green
• + Red = minimal contours (this is our stock body geometry footbed with longitudinal arch & metatarsal button support. Same footbed in all our performance shoes. Same footbed we have used since 2000) = for people with flat foot
• ++ Blue = moderate (slightly higher longitudinal arch & metatarsal button) = for people with flat to standard arch
• +++ Green = significant support = for people with standard or high arches
• By combining the correct contour insole with an appropriate amount of BG Shims, the rider can alter forefoot angle to optimize biomechanical foot/knee/hip alignment (+/- 1.5mm varus/valgus wedges included). Body Geometry Technology

Body Geometry Shoe Design Co-developed with Dr. Andy Pruitt, sports medicine expert and head of the U.S. Cycling Federation Sports Medicine program for four World Championships and the 1996 Olympic Games. For 2005 all our Shoes feature three revolutionary technologies to stabilize the cyclist's foot bed, help prevent injuries, and measurably increase performance.

Varus Wedge The Varus wedge [A] slightly angles the forefoot to match its natural canted position, bringing the foot into full contact with the pedal and eliminating rotational movement of the knee, shin, and forefoot [B & C]. Compared to standard cycling shoes, the resulting movement of the leg during pedaling is smoother and better aligned, reducing knee pain and strain [D].

Metatarsal Button and Longitudinal Arch Support The contours of the Body Geometry (BG) footbed support two key areas of the foot: the metatarsal button, and the longitudinal arch. The raised metatarsal button section [E] in the forefoot spreads the metatarsal bomes to prevent nerves and blood vessels from being crushed during pedaling, reducing "hot spots", foot swelling and discomfort.BR> The raised longitudinal arch support [F] provides a stable platform to minimize arch flex and improve power transfer and efficiency.

Proven Results Physiology studies were conducted at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine (BCSM) and presented in 2001 at the American College of Sports Medicine conference in May 2003. The study tested competitive cyclists riding at 80% of lactate threshold power for ninety minutes, followed by a progressive sprint to exhaustion at VO2 max. The same cyclists alternated between BG shoes and control shoes from another premiere manufacturer. The results were compiled and aggregated to form an overall picture of shoe performance. The results of this study? At 60 minutes riding time with BG shoes, the cyclists' heartrates were still lower than after just 30 minutes with the control shoes. At 90 minutes, the BG difference was even more dramatic: heartrates with BG shoes increased almost 30% less over the final hour than when the same riders rode conventional shoes. And in the final sprint to exhaustion, cyclists lasted an average of 38 seconds-- more than half a minute-- longer at VO2 max when they wore BG shoes. Net result: BG shoes not only improve pedaling efficiency, but measurably increase endurance in competitive cyclists. Just ask the BCSM.
