The key to more comfort, fewer injuries, and higher power output comes from a combination of the proper shoes and footbeds. Ours keep your pedal stroke stabilized and aligned for power, comfort and your most efficient ride yet.
STEP 1: FOOT ASSESSMENT
The fitter will perform a simple foot assessment to understand your current limitations, if any, and to determine the correct size custom footbed for your cycling shoes.
STEP 2: SETTING THE MOLDING TRAY
Once the assessment is complete, then you will take a seat on the Retül Footbed stand so that you are sitting in a proper position for optimal molding.
Your foot will be placed into the Retül tray where the fitter will begin to mold the tray material around the contours of each foot.
STEP 3: HEATING AND FORMING THE FOOTBED
Once the tray material is molded, then the fun begins!
Your fitter will begin the process of heating the footbed blank until pliable.
Once the footbed blank is flexible enough it will be carefully placed into the molded tray where you will apply light pressure on top of each footbed for 2-3 minutes.
STEP 4: FINE TUNING
After the blank is cooled the custom footbed can be trimmed as needed for a precise fit in your cycling shoes.
STEP 5: GO RIDE!
After all the steps are complete, then you will have a ready-to-use custom footbed that you can wear right out of the studio and on to your next cycling adventure.

The DFD is a fast, easy and accurate way to understand the level of support needed in your cycling shoes to maximize performance on the bike.
Using thousands of pressure points, the Digital Footbed Device takes an accurate reading of both the left and right foot to determine your arch height.
From there, it will provide you with the recommended footbed support for your riding shoes based on whether you have high, medium or low arches.
You will receive an email at the end of your session to set up a Retül Passport account where you can view all of your data in one place.
"I really love the Footbeds! Usually custom insoles feel kind of artificial to me, not very comfortable and kind of hard to get used to but with the Retül Footbeds this was completely different - can’t be without them anymore!"
