Why having equipment designed specifically for cycling is essential
Cycling, whether road, mountain or urban, places particular demands on the feet: repeated pedalling, continuous pressure under the sole of the foot, energy transfer, rigid pedals, prolonged duration, and sometimes shocks or vibrations. A classic cycling shoe is not always optimised for these aspects — hence the interest in a ‘foot + comfort + performance’ range: this is what the SIDAS Cycling collection offers.
Products in the SIDAS cycling range
-
Specialised cycling insoles — heel support, vibration damping and adapted footbed support. They improve energy transfer between the foot, the shoe and the pedals, stabilise the foot, eliminate unwanted micro-movements and make pedalling smoother and more efficient.
-
Comfort, stability and pain prevention— By stabilising the foot and distributing pressure more evenly, cycling insoles reduce ‘hot spots’ (areas of high pressure), decrease the risk of numbness or discomfort, and contribute to long-term foot and joint health—which is particularly important for long rides or regular training.
Who is this Cycling collection for?
- Regular or avid cyclists (road, mountain biking, commuting) who cover long distances or cycle often: comfort and efficiency matter over time.
- Cyclists with sensitive feet/heels/metatarsals — those who have experienced numbness, pressure points, pain or plantar fatigue.
- For cyclists seeking to optimise their pedalling and performance — those who love thrills, speed and efficiency, but also comfort.
- For those who want a complete foot-shoe-sole setup to maximise comfort, stability and efficiency and keep their feet healthy in the long term.
Expert advice & best practices
- Replace the original insole of your cycling shoe with a suitable cycling insole to enjoy all the benefits: comfort, stability, energy transfer.
- Choose the right sole for your use — comfort/versatility model, or performance-oriented, long distances or intensive use.
- Test the equipment gradually — on a short ride first, to check comfort, support and absence of pressure points.
-
Monitor the condition of the insoles over time — after a certain number of rides, the cushioning or support may decrease, which can affect comfort or efficiency.
- Combine suitable insoles + well-fitting shoes + correct pedal positioning — the efficiency of the foot does not come from the insole alone, but from the combination of foot/shoe/pedal/position.
