Features
The Foot Must Be Stabilized When Cycling
The foot and ankle must allow extremely complex movements in everyday life and sports. With 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 ligaments, the foot is highly adaptable. However, during cycling, this mobility can be disadvantageous, preventing optimal power transmission to the pedal. Conventional cycling shoe insoles often fail to stabilize the foot sufficiently, leading to a loss of performance and comfort. Additionally, misalignment of the foot-knee-hip axis can result in discomfort in the feet and knees. The IP Pro Solestar addresses these issues with its ergonomic design.
Patented Stabilization Delta
The patented Solestar Stabilization Delta in the IP Pro Solestar keeps the foot in a natural, neutral position, preventing inward and outward movements. By lowering the big toe base joint and raising the outer edge of the forefoot while supporting the ankle joint, the insole enhances power, comfort, and efficiency.
Full Speed Ahead
Many cyclists mistakenly believe that comfort and top performance are mutually exclusive. Even the stiffest shoes can fall short if incorrect foot positioning and discomfort prevent maximum pressure on the pedal. The foot can only deliver its full power when positioned ideally. The IP Pro Solestar ensures this optimal positioning.
Optimal Support
Stability in the foot is crucial for all aspects of cycling. In disciplines like sporty mountain biking and road cycling, the IP Pro Solestar reduces rotation in the ankle, ensuring optimized power transmission. Even in shoes with softer soles, like many mountain bike disciplines, these insoles provide the necessary stability.
Ergonomics Well Thought Out
Feet naturally move inward and outward under load (pronation/supination). However, these movements are biomechanically and ergonomically disadvantageous during cycling, leading to power loss and strain on ligaments, tendons, and joints. The IP Pro Solestar effectively prevents these movements, keeping the feet stable.
No Burning Feet, No Tingling Toes
Many cyclists experience burning feet, tingling sensations, or pain between the toes and knee problems, which can detract from the enjoyment of cycling and affect performance. The IP Pro Solestar insoles can significantly reduce these discomforts.
Three Layers for Power and Comfort
The IP Pro Solestar consists of three complementary layers: a robust nylon fabric surface for grip, a fiberglass composite shell for stabilization and power transmission, and orthopedic EVA foam padding for optimal cushioning.
Renowned Worldwide
Ergon developed the IP Pro in collaboration with the renowned insole specialist Solestar. Known internationally for its cycling insoles, Solestar has been a supplier to numerous world-class cyclists and professional teams.
