I got custom orthotics from a podiatrist and am in feet heaven when they’re in my cycling shoes (Lake 241). My feet are almost never a thing I think about even on long rides. I’ve learned over the years of getting custom orthotics that the best kind are the ones made from a cast molding of the foot when it’s in a relaxed position. The insoles that come from the technique of stepping into a box of squishy material that creates a mold I find to be inferior. What I love about getting custom orthotics (at least the ones my current Dr are making me) are that I have a corn on each foot in different spots. My podiatrist was able to make pressure relieving channels in the areas under the corn, sort of like the ones on bike saddles, and so my corns get less pressure and friction.
