Has anybody bought these from Snow and Rock? I called and was told that they have a slim version ideal for cycling shoes; Cyclefit claim to have a sidas footbed designed by Cyclefit, specific for cyclists.....anybody know if these are the same thing or what the difference is?

There's a £20 price difference that's for sure! I don't know if that's just the cyclefit premium
Where\'s me jumper?

    I was going to get down to Snow and Rock today to buy a pair of the moulded footbeds, a slim version - £55; they're £75 at Cyclefit, I've no idea if I'm getting something extra for the £20 increase. Sidas' website recommends the slim version for cycling, I guess that this is what I'd be getting at either Snow and Rock or Cyclefit??

    How do you mould them? At cadence sport you have moulds of your feet made and then the beds are inserted into the moulds after they are heated. Perfect fit!

    Pop your feet in the oven at gas mark 4 for 20 minutes, then stand on the footbeds.

    Could I ask did Cadence Sport come to you or did you go to them.
    I see the only contact details state 'between Birmingham and Derby'...which would be good for me but seems a bit vague.

    I would like to get the bikefit with footbeds done as I have well dodgy feet :D
    Not sure there are enough wedges in the world to correct them either.

    You have to go to see Adrian. It really is in the middle of nowhere between Derby and Birmingham!!

    Give him a call and speak to him... Best 100 quid I ever spent on cycling.
