Bike insoles concept

More Power. Less Discomfort.

SQlab Insoles for Cyclists

Numb toes, aching knees, painful pressure points – most cyclists know the struggle. The cause is often not just the bike, but the foot itself. As muscles fatigue, the natural arch of the foot collapses. The result: reduced stability, increased discomfort, and inefficient power transfer.

The solution: SQlab Insoles

They support your arches, activate the muscles, and provide the stability you need for efficient pedaling – from the pedal axle all the way up to your hips.

How we tested:

Tests were conducted in the laboratory with 10 cyclists. Seven different insoles were compared.
In addition, pressure measurements were taken in the shoe and knee movements were analyzed using a high-speed camera.
Finally, the cyclists' feedback on comfort was recorded and evaluated.

The results at a glance:

An 8% reduction in lateral knee movement was measured in 60% of test subjects.
It was also found that a larger contact surface means greater comfort—the better the foot is supported, the more relaxed the ride. These findings were directly incorporated into the development of the SQ-Insoles ONE11.

SQlab insoles are designed to provide optimal support for the individual shape of your foot. They offer longitudinal arch support for stability, a pad to relieve pressure on the midfoot, and lateral forefoot support for perfect power transfer.

Find your perfect insole

Proper foot support through optimally designed insoles is crucial for comfort, performance, and health when cycling.

How does the foot measurement work?

Step 1

Place the included SQlab measurement sheet on a hard, even surface.

Stand evenly on the paper – ideally barefoot – and distribute your weight equally between both feet.

Make sure you stay relaxed – this ensures an accurate arch imprint.

Step 2

Use a pen to carefully trace the outline of both feet.

Then, follow the enclosed visual guide to determine your foot type based on your arch height:

High Arch, Medium Arch, Low Arch, Flat Arch

Step 3

Determine your leg axis: bow legs, straight legs, or X-legs.

Combine your foot type with your leg axis to choose the right insole.

Example: High Arch (A) + X-legs (3) → A3 MED
