Burning foot soles while cycling I Ergonomics SQlab

Why burning foot soles can be a problem

Pressure Points Reduce Comfort and Performance

Burning sensations in the soles often result from concentrated pressure on small contact points. Proper foot support and stability can help spread the load evenly, reducing discomfort during rides.

We make the difference

Where does the problem lie?

Burning pain in the soles occurs when high, localized pressure builds up under the foot. Pedals provide only a small contact area, so the load is often concentrated on a single point. If the shoe sole is too soft, it can bend around the pedal, increasing pressure on sensitive areas. This imbalance quickly causes pain and a burning sensation in the soles. SQlab insoles counteract this problem with an ergonomic shape and effective cushioning. They support the foot, distribute pressure evenly across the entire sole, reduce discomfort, enhance comfort, and improve efficiency – especially on longer rides.

Tailored Designs for Every Foot Type

Ergonomic Insoles for Balanced Pressure and Support

SQlab insoles are designed to counteract burning soles by providing targeted support exactly where the foot needs it most. Based on a detailed foot type determination, our insoles are available in three different shapes, each addressing specific anatomical needs. They lift and support the foot arches, evenly distribute pressure, and relieve overstressed nerves, all while maximizing power transfer. This design not only prevents the arch from collapsing under load but also maintains healthy circulation, reducing the risk of burning pain during long rides.

Optimizing Alignment for Comfort and Efficiency

Precision Cleat Setup for Pain-Free Power Transfer

Correct cleat positioning is crucial to preventing burning soles and numb toes. SQlab recommends mounting cleats so the pedal axle aligns between the big toe joint and the small toe joint, ensuring balanced pressure and optimal power delivery. We help riders avoid extreme positions: too far back, which can cause pressure on sensitive soft tissue, and too far forward, which can lead to calf fatigue and excess pressure on the toes. The lateral position is equally important and should match the rider’s natural foot angle for proper alignment and crank clearance. For riders with larger feet or a pronounced V-stance, pedals with longer axles can further enhance comfort and performance.
