After suffering a partial tear in my post tib tendon, I was fitted for orthotics to wear all the time. These are more like small casts, but they will be able to be trimmed down a touch in the next couple of months.

Now on to cycling. A friend recommended using green Superfeet inserts in my shoes. The definitely felt better for some shorter rides. Then Saturday, I did a 60 mile ride. I could barely walk without my orthotics and my ankle was sore, swollen and tender to the touch. But when I put on shoes with my orthotics, I felt fine.

So on to the question portion of the post. My Northwave's are going on 3 years old, so it might be time for some new cycling shoes. I tried putting my orthotics in my cycling shoes, but these things are just huge... I'm talking massive... like stick out of the top of every shoe that I have. Are there shoes that are more orthotic friendly? Or would an over the counter arch support placed on top of my Superfeet help? I have the plank flat feet with huge pronation along with the "peek a boo" heel roll. I was totatlly built wrong at the factory.

So in short, post tib tear, needing orthotics, feel good in orthotics, bike shoe ideas.

Thanks!!!
