It can be. Different people experience different sensations. The burning could be from compressed nerve endings and / or compression of the blood supply and not necessarily plantar fasciitis. However, plantar fasciitis is never too far away when the foot is not working optimally.

Hi, yes these will help. We need to get your feet stronger so that the muscles lift the bones away from the blood supply. We can help you set up and you should get initial benefits in the first 6 weeks. Then wear them in as many shoes as you can to keep getting benefits. I suggest Metdomes as well for toe numbness.

You can buy on our website www.g8performance.com and we ship from the Netherlands

I would check with Shimano. Or trim around what you currently have in them?

Cycle shoes are a bit more exact when fitting as you are strapping your non symmetrical self onto a symmetrical machine. You also can't change the angle of attack markedly as you can when you aren't strapped into something. When on the bike you should be able to feel your foot roll over the arch piece to expel the force through the ball of your foot. If the arch piece is too high and the foot can't do this, the force will be expelled through other parts of the foot which is not ideal - and can cause discomfort. Start low and as far forward as is comfortable. To increase the speed of progressions, wear your 2620's in your everyday shoes as well. The more you wear them the stronger your feet will become. Any issues get in touch. We love helping people get the most out of their feet.

Hi Alex, once you wear them they become very intuitive. Let comfort be your guide. Everyone's feet are different and will respond at different rates. In my case (with flat, inflexible, badly damaged feet) I started with the level 1 about mid way. Once I felt that I couldn't feel the contact of the arch piece I moved it forward. Over time, I progressed all the way forward then went higher - and then progressed forward with the level 2. This took me around 18 months. We're dealing with muscles, ligaments and nerve endings and your body will quickly tell you what your feet need. I know that may sound a bit waffly but everyone experiences the moment when they start to understand the messages from the feet. We are always happy to help you out so get in touch with us if you need more assistance. :)

Which level arch piece are you trying to fit in? Is it a tight fit or is it too loose? Can you send a pic or short vid to [email protected] so we can take a look and get it sorted? Thanks!

Hi Vr, do you mean the vertical distance between the bottom bracket and the top of the head tube on a bike?

No, stack height is the distance of the cleat and sole of the shoes. The arch support, no matter how high, fits into the empty space beneath your foot's arch so it's not elevating your foot up higher than it should be naturally. It's just supporting it.

Hi Simon, We don't use heel wedges to address pronation issues. if your orthotics artificially support your foot and your ankle is rolling inwards, that is a sign that the foot is not expelling enough force through the ball i.e 1st and 2nd metatarsal heads. In a number of cases we see that are similar, the knee tends to drop toward the top tube as well. The 2620's insoles when set up with a forward-positioned arch piece, assist the foot to perform biomechanically correctly. This not only helps expel more force through the ball of the foot but, over time, helps to strengthen the foot which in turn strengthens the foot, increases blood flow, and reduces excessive pronation. We are more than happy to help you with this process.

Hi, The cleat wedge tilts the entire shoe. The heel wedge helps the foot biomechancally inside the shoe. They have different purposes. If the foot moves inside the shoe biomechanically correctly does titlting the entire shoe help?

We want the same action happening in a cycle shoe as we do walking, running, skating etc. The foot is designed to contract longitudinally, then expand londitudinally before splaying out and rolling slightly inwards to expel the force through the ball of the foot. The set up in the cycle shoe is a little more exact as the angle of attack is less. i.e. you aren't able to lean forward at the ankles as you can when running. If the foot is fixed in a cycle shoe over time, you will create muscle atrophy and will not be receiving any benefits that you get when the foot is active. Please let me know if I can help you further. :)

Thanks David, that’s very helpful. I’ve been using G8s on and off for years, but have been guided within the bike fitting world to have the arch support as far back and medially positioned as possible. Despite this, and using the Level 5 support with additional handlebar tape between the arch piece and the insole, I still have significant eversion at the rearfoot, and this video made me conifer whether I may get better results with the arch supports much further forward.

@@Lemond75 start with the low arch first. Inside the shoe you should feel that you can roll over the arch piece when expelling force. Wear them in your everyday shoes as well. They strengthen your feet while you wear them so the more you wear them the quicker results. Reach out and let us know how you get on and if you need help with adjustments

@@davidlee9965 thanks David, that’s very helpful. Best wishes

​@@davidlee9965hi David, hope you see this comment. I have big toe numbness and pronate heavily on big toe. I have wide shoes too. When I pronate while pedaling and applying load, I feel there's a nerve in compressing at joint of my big toe, not the metatarsal but where big toe bends. Will these help with my issue? Thank you

Hi, these can only be used on the 2620's or Ignites. They do not attache to other orthotics.

Hi, the thick edge of the wedge goes on the inside. Start with the highest one and work down as needed (or not needed as the case may be). You may see benefits immediately but we normally progressive benefits over a 6 week period.

Hi Todd, Both insoles require room in the shoe to allow the foot to move biomechanically correctly. The 2620's are only 2.5mm thick when measured 4cm in from the toe. The Ignites have a tad less volume but it's the movement in the shoe that is important.

Just the injured foot. There is no harm trying a low metdome on the uninjured foot to get a little more blood flow to your toes

Hi Anthony, the 2620's strengthen your feet over time which will then allow the correct amount of pronation. Think of the 2620's as exercising your feet everytime you wear them. If you order on our website we have a 90 day guarantee and we will help you with fitting and adjustments.

@@davidlee9965 My pronation is due to the bone structure of my right foot. It got slightly better with proper exercice but there is so much it can do. I need a structural support

@@onilovni1234 mild pronation is essential in order to expel force through the ball of the foot. We focus on strengthening the foot muscles to assist with proper biomechanics inside the shoe. The foot muscles become the suport that the bone structure needs. Just like any musculature structure, improvements take time. If you are looking for an 'artificial support' then the 2620's are not what you are looking for.

@@g8performance Oh well, I'm at a point where I consider custom orthotics but I wan to give a go to the cheaper alternatives first. I just bought a 2620 insole with the heel wedges. I'll try them and if they don't work, it's alright!

The 2620's exercise the feet while you wear them and over time, make them stronger. This is where real stability comes from. Message us on [email protected] if you need more info.

Any Feed back on this?

@@rsanzana The thick part of the wedge should go on the inside of the foot
