GET THE MAXIMUM POTENTIAL OUT OF YOUR POWER TRANSFER.

Specialized Body Geometry® shoes and footbeds are built to make the marriage between body and bike more productive, more comfortable and less painful.

 

The Problem: Since the foot is naturally canted for walking and running (with the big toe higher than the little), that same angulation on a bike can cause rotational movement of the nee/shin/foot and cause the foot to collapse, which not only degrades efficiency, but creates knee pressure and strain.

The Solution: We engineer a Varus Wedge into the outsole of our BG shoes, giving the foot a 1.5mm angle to compensate for its natural tilt. This creates better alignment of the knee over the foot, boosting efficiency and comfort.

 

LONGITUDINAL ARCH

The Problem: Similar to its angulation, the foot’s arch is great for absorbing shock when walking or running, thanks to its natural flex. But unless the arch is supported while on a bike, it can hinder pedaling efficiency and rob power on the downstroke.

The Solution: The footbeds and outsoles of our BG shoes are constructed with Longitudinal Arch support, truly making every pedal stroke count in your favor.

METATARSAL BUTTON

The Problem: Cyclists often experience “hot spots” or numbness in the forefoot while riding, due to the fact that a snug shoe can lead to the compression of nerves and arteries in between the metatarsals (long bones of the forefoot).

The Solution: The Metatarsal Button in our BG shoes works against this problem by lifting and separating the metatarsals to eliminate related compression and discomfort.
