Narrower than average footbed

Footbed runs narrower than other mtb shoes I have such as Bontrager, Pear Izumi and even my old Specialized Tahoe mtb shoes. I utilized them anyway and the lack of support on the edges of the forefoot doesn't bother my foot. I have flat feet and ordered the red which provides very little support. I wish I had ordered the blue instead. Still overall the Specialized footbed is an improvement over the hard, thin unsupportive stock footbed that came with my Pearl Izumi X Alp Summit shoes.

Seems to help

It’s like a running shoe insert: it helps keep your foot from turning in or out (which keeps your knee from being torqued).

takes getting used to, but so worth it

The first century I rode, it felt like my toes were broken, with numbness for 2 days. I use those same shoes, but with the green footbeds now. I can spend 7 hours on the saddle, and ride the next morning now!

The metatarsal button is intolerable

I purchased these insoles based on local bikeshop recommendations. I find the metatarsal button to be intolerable - like having a big wedge cutting off your circulation. After a week of persisting thinking that the insoles would "break in," I have had to give up. My foot and leg were completely numb just from indoor spinning class. If Specialized made an insole without the metatarsal button, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Awesome BG Footbeds

Great fitting footbed for my brand new road cycling shoes, I have medium to high arches so I needed a good footbed to support my feet and provide good stability these fit the shoe perfectly! I like these a lot so I bought more for my other cycling shoes! What a big difference these footbeds make!!

Surprisingly more comfortable over long distances.

I'm using Specialized Torch 2.0 shoes, which are comfortable for me, but after several hours of cycling my feet start to go numb. I thought I'd try the footbed and it's great. It supports the arch of my foot and it hasn't gone numb since. It's thicker than a normal footbed.

Note that the colors denote different levels of support

I didn't realize this until they arrived in the mail, but the different colors denote different levels of support. There are little plus signs, either 1, 2, or 3, on the different colors, and those denote moderate, medium, and strong support. I wish the description on the web site made that clear.

Perfect for Narrow Feet & High Arches

I have a narrow foot and a high arch so its often hard for me to get cycling shoes to fit right; these inserts are the answer! They fit perfectly in Specialized shoes and I have trimmed them to fit Sidi as well; they make an immediate difference in terms of fit and support. For me, given my foot profile, these are a requirement in any cycling shoe. If you have a high arch, buy these, your feet will thank you.

Somewhat pricey but pain free

Somewhat pricey but pain free feet are priceless. I use them in bike shoes and they stopped the foot pain I was having. I also started putting them in walking shoes and found they stopped the foot pain I was having on walks but especially treadmill walking and even treadmill jogging. They are very stiff so ensure you have the correct arch height by wetting your feet and stepping on a surface that will leave an imprint. Smooth cement like a garage floor or construction paper, black seems to work the best.

Not recommended for wide feet

I think these would be a great product if you have average or narrow feet. The outside edges of the insole is hard and curves upward. This causes pain on the underside of your foot if it hangs over the outside of the insole.
