They're like bucket seats for your feet.

I'd like to know how we've done

DownUnders cycling footbeds are not arch supports.

DownUnders cycling footbeds are high quality biomechanically designed foot orthotic that uses a patented tear-drop grove and bubble shape which cradles and aligns the foot for optimal support.

DownUnders cycling footbeds customize the shoe-foot relationship by molding itself to the underside of the foot and the inside of the shoe last.

DownUnders cycling footbeds offer a deep contoured heel cup that is like a bucket seat for your heel. As you pedal, walk or run, this dynamic design cradles and works naturally with the function of your foot for the best possible comfort, stability and performance.

DownUnders cycling footbeds are a full length pre-molded polyethylene foam core covered by a durable and breathable alveolite cover. This construction maximizes comfort and optimizes natural flexibility and support.

DownUnders cycling footbeds:

• Improve foot comfort and support
• Improve the fit and feel of the shoe
• Improve performance and endurance
• Reduce stress, fatigue and the chance of injury

DownUnders cycling footbeds make sense for anyone that wants to enhance the comfort and enjoyment of riding their bicycle.

THINSOLE MODEL . FUNCTION . .FEATURES HEEL AREA .BENEFITS Deepest Heel Cup Captures a large area of the Calcanus bone and its fat pad. Cradling the calcanus in a centered position is the first step to encouraging a neutral alignment. Provides best shock absorbing by cupping the fat pad helping to protect heel area from injury. Heel Bubble Activates the molding process. Guards against heel spur injuries. Adds additional shock absorption to the natural system at heel strike. One of the most important components of the self-molding feature. Enhances the definition for a better fit and more comfort. Assists in relieving heel spur pain and discomfort. Helps keep the foot more centered and neutrally aligned for better bio-mechanical balance. .FEATURES ARCH AREA .BENEFITS "Active Arch®" Supports the lower ankle (subtalar) joint which is the second step to encouraging a neutral alignment. Lifts and protects the plantar ligaments, tendons, and muscles giving the foot strength and resilience throughout the full cycle motion. A centered or neutrally aligned foot decreases the problems associated with over-pronation. The light lifting of the plantar ligaments underneath the arch surface helps to reduce over-use injuries form the stress and tension caused by the over-stretching of the soft tissue. Assists in improving the archs stability and balance as the weight of the body passes, from the heel to toe, through the stance phase of gait. Provides a semi-soft, comfortable but stable platform for the entire arch system of the foot. .FEATURES FOREFOOT AREA .BENEFITS Forefoot Tear Drop® Bolsters the natural shape of the tranverse (metatarsal) arch, supporting the complex structures of the forefoot. Enhances the separations of the metatarsals and the function of the soft tissue. Reducing the impact from compression, tension-loadings and shock to the mid-foot area, softly supporting the mid foot. It further sets up the forefoot to articulate more naturally through the propulsive (toe-off) phase of gait. Promotes the spreading of the body weight properly across the entire pedal surface. Stabilizes the muscle structure as contraction begins in preparation for the stress of the body weight. Helps to increase balance of stance from heel to toe and 1st through 5th toe. If nerve inflammation is present in the forefoot, the separation of bones may relieve the irritation and help reduce the inflammation Full length footbed Protects forefoot and maintains footbed in proper placement within the shoe. The soft closed-cell foam protects the forefoot and toes during impact. With use, the foam molds around the fat pads of the toes limiting the fat pad displacement. .FEATURES TOP SKIN .BENEFITS Top Skin The velvet alveolite foam is a closed-cell non-absorbent wicking material. It has exceptional qualities for underfoot use. The velvet foam insulates the foot from heat/cold and wicks the moisture away from the foot. It does not absorb odor, foot acids, and is hypo-allergenic. Can be washed using a brush and soap and dried by wiping. This material is very durable and long lasting.
