Not all cycling footbeds are created equal. Some are generic and one-size-fits-all, while others are custom-made and tailored to your specific foot shape, size, and biomechanics. How do you know which type of cycling footbed is best for you?
To answer this question, we asked Lloyd Thomas, a renowned bike fitter and owner of CycleFit.de, a bike fitting studio in Germany that caters to professional cyclists and triathletes. Lloyd has decades of experience in bike fitting and works with Shimano Japan and Shimano Europe as a consultant. He has fitted some of the world’s best cyclists, including Simon Gerrans, Michael Rogers, John Degenkolb, and Sonja Tajsich.
