SOLESTAR BLK – THE CYCLING INSOLE
There is a reason that the SOLESTAR BLK insoles for cycling/triathlon shoes are used by the top pro’s in cycling and triathlon around the world.
Solestar BLK insoles are specifically made for competitive cyclists and triathletes. They are lightweight and have a stiff core made of a high quality 5 layer carbon sole. They offer optimal support to the foot and greatly improve your transfer of power through the pedals.
Our feet are designed to be flexible, which is actually the opposite of what you want in cycling. When it comes to cycling we only want the foot to move at one level – up and down. The flexibility of the foot can lead to problems when it comes to cycling and can lead to a loss of power if your feet are not stable. This is where the Solestar insole comes in.
When testing it out, because of the rigid stiffness of the carbon sole, I instantly felt my feet, legs and knees were locked into position. This allowed me to produce maximum power and have complete comfort and stability. The insoles fitted perfectly into my Spiuk Pragma Triathlon Shoe and I would say that it took 2-3 rides to fully feel comfortable with the new rigid position the insoles gave me. If you are looking for those marginal 1% gains, then this product is a great investment. There is a reason pro’s such as Alex Dowset, Andre Greipel and Matteo Trentin use the insole. A bonus that Solestar offer is a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not 100% satisfied after 6 weeks they offer a money-back guarantee.
The product is available at a price of £117.32 and can be purchased here
