Cycling orthotics and shoe assessment in Geelong
At Total Care Podiatry, we understand the unique demands cycling places on the feet and lower limbs. Our Geelong podiatrists offer advanced cycling orthotics and professional cycling shoe fitting services to optimise your performance, comfort, and injury prevention on the bike.
If you’re experiencing foot pain from cycling shoes or want to get more power and stability in each pedal stroke, our team can help fine-tune your setup for better results.
Unlike walking or running, cycling involves repetitive, high-force loading through a fixed foot position. This means small alignment issues can quickly become big problems, especially over long rides or intense training.
Common issues we see include:
- Numbness or burning under the forefoot
- Arch pain or cramping
- Hot spots or pressure points
- Knee or hip tracking problems
- Foot pain from cycling shoes
Our goal is to identify what’s causing the discomfort and apply a podiatry-led solution that supports your biomechanics while you ride.
Custom cycling orthotics for enhanced performance
Our cycling orthotics are custom-designed to fit snugly into your cycling shoes without interfering with pedal feel. They provide support and alignment, reduce pressure areas, and help distribute load more evenly across the foot.
Benefits include:
- Improved power transfer
- Reduced fatigue and cramping
- Better foot and knee alignment
- Enhanced comfort on long rides
Each orthotic is designed based on a detailed biomechanical assessment, considering your riding style, foot shape, and cycling discipline.

FAQs about cycling shoe assessment / cycling specific orthotics
Can orthotics fit into tight cycling shoes?
Yes. Our cycling orthotics are specifically designed to be slim and firm, ensuring they fit without affecting performance.
Will this help with numb toes while riding?
Often, yes. Numbness can result from pressure or poor alignment. We’ll assess and correct the root cause.
Is cleat alignment part of the fitting?
Yes. We assess cleat positioning as part of our cycling shoe fitting podiatrist service for optimal biomechanics.
Do I need new shoes for cycling orthotics?
Not always. We can usually work with your existing shoes unless they’re unsuitable for your foot type or setup.
