Collection: Cycling soles

When it comes to cycling, it’s often the small adjustments that make the biggest difference – and cycling insoles are one of the most overlooked but crucial elements. A good insole can improve comfort, stability and power transfer, while also reducing the risk of overuse injuries and numbness in the feet. At Transition Zone, we’ve selected some of the best cycling insoles on the market from Gebiomized and Cobra9, both of which are designed with precision and performance in mind.

Cycling shoes are typically stiff and hard to ensure optimal power transfer – but that’s precisely why the insole becomes particularly important. It acts as a point of contact between the foot and the shoe, and the right support can significantly improve both comfort and efficiency – especially on long rides or during high intensity.

Gebiomized is a renowned German brand with roots in bike fitting and biomechanical analysis. Their cycling insoles are developed based on thousands of pressure measurements and foot analyses from elite and amateur athletes, making them one of the most technically advanced choices on the market. At Transition Zone we carry Gebiomized's prefabricated insoles, which are available in several variants depending on foot type and needs.

Gebiomized focuses on three key parameters: support, stability and pressure distribution. Their soles are designed to optimize the contact between the foot and the shoe, so that power is transferred more directly to the pedal. This reduces energy waste and provides a more efficient and balanced pedaling motion - especially important for riders who suffer from discomfort, tired feet or unstable knee movements.

Their soles come in different arch support levels (low, medium and high) so you can find the solution that best suits your anatomy and riding style. They are easy to adjust and fit most road shoes – and they can be a game-changer for riders looking for more comfort without compromising on performance.

Cobra9 is an Australian brand that specializes in custom and semi-custom cycling soles, and they are particularly known for making soles that fit perfectly with Bont Vaypor cycling shoes. Bont shoes have a unique, molded carbon fiber shell and require an insole that matches both the shape and the precision requirements – and here Cobra9 is in a class of its own.

Cobra9's Pro Series and SemiPro soles provide optimal support for the arch, heel and forefoot, ensuring that your foot is properly planted in the shoe – regardless of thread, intensity and foot shape. The soles are designed to counteract pronation and ensure a neutral and stable foot position throughout the pedal stroke. This means more efficient power transfer, fewer hotspots and less leg fatigue.

At Transition Zone, we especially recommend the Cobra9 for riders who already ride Bont Vaypor and want to get the most out of their setup. These shoes are designed for performance, and with the right sole, you get an even more tailored fit and better comfort – especially on long distances.

Many riders focus on the saddle, handlebars and pedals, but completely forget about what is closest to the body: the shoes and soles. Bicycle soles can help to:

Improve comfort – especially on long rides and at high watts

Prevent numbness and burning sensation in the toes

Optimize pedaling technique and knee position

Prevent overload and imbalances that can lead to injuries

Utilize your power better and get more out of every thread

Both Gebiomized and Cobra9 are developed with input from physiotherapists, bike fitters and professional athletes, and are designed to deliver measurable improvements in both comfort and performance. If you want to get more out of your ride, while also doing your feet a favor, a good cycling sole is an obvious place to start.
