Hey NCC'ers, 

Anyone had any luck, locally, with someone (a podiatrist or fitter) who makes custom orthotics for cycling? I'm in need. 

Thanks, 

JS

I tried to get some through my chiropractor which she claimed worked for cycling shoes, they did not work at all.  I haven’t found anyone who makes insoles specific to a shoe’s footbed yet… but if you find one…

Valley Bike and Ski did an insert fitting for my shoes and I really like them! 

The orthotic inserts are specialized brand and my shoes are pearl zumi so the inserts fit across different shoe brands.

Fournier foot care on King St did some good work for me in that area, although it wasn’t specifically for cycling shoes.

Thanks all, I wish I could get by with semi-custom insoles but my feet could best be described as looking like swim fins fit for a hobbit.  And Leila!!! I'll definitely report back when/if I find someone as several folks I've talked to are in need.  And, re Fournier, unfortunately it looks like they closed up sometime in the past year or so.

 Hello, look into 'send out' crush boxes

Don Lambson is the king of shoes in the USA for cycling: https://lamsoncycling.com/orthotics

his old company, D2 shoes also does orthotics: https://www.d2shoe.com/copy-of-orthotic-benefits

If you're in Tucson, AZ ever, stopping off and seeing Don is time well spent, he's a genius of all things feet / cycling.
