Test 2016: Solestar insoles for road cycling shoes - Insoles for road cycling shoes from Solestar put to the test

The idea is based on the realisation that cyclists put the most pressure on the pedals when the foot is in a neutral position. This puts Solestar at odds with other providers of customised insoles that stabilise the foot in its natural position in the shoe. We cannot judge who is right in this expert dispute. Nor can we judge whether the insoles measurably improve power transmission. Nevertheless, we can recommend them. Each of the seven pairs of cycling shoes that we rode in three months with Solestar insoles felt more comfortable and better than with the original insoles. Even shoes with a poor fit fitted much better.
