Developed with Andy Pruitt from the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine the BG Footbed system improves efficiency, increases comfort, and reduces potential injury. This system allows any rider to achieve a semi-custom fit in their cycling shoes, combining advanced insoles with varus/valgus wedge shims to align cant angle.
- By standing on the Specialized Arch-O-Meter, a rider can determine the optimum level of foot contour: Arch-O-Meter
- + Red = minimal contours (this is our stock body geometry footbed with longitudinal arch & metatarsal button support. Same footbed in all our performance shoes. Same footbed we have used since 2000) = for people with flat foot
- ++ Blue = moderate (slightly higher longitudinal arch & metatarsal button) = for people with flat to standard arch
- +++ Green = significant support = for people with standard or high arches
- By combining the correct contour insole with an appropriate amount of BG Shims, the rider can alter forefoot angle to optimize biomechanical foot/knee/hip alignment (+/- 1.5mm varus/valgus wedges included). Body Geometry Technology
