Misalignment of the feet can significantly limit the enjoyment of cycling. With the IP Touring Solestar, Ergon offers all touring riders a significant gain in comfort, especially when covering longer distances. The patented stabilization delta keeps the foot in an ergonomic position, prevents discomfort, and optimally transfers leg power to the pedal. Efficiency is maximized with a grippy surface made of nylon fabric. Finely ground walnut shells in the 3D foam padding aid in keeping the feet cool. The insole shell, made of fiberglass composite, enhances pedaling efficiency. The IP Touring Solestar was developed with the internationally renowned insole specialist Solestar.

Features

The Foot Must Be Stabilized When Cycling

The foot and ankle must allow extremely complex movements in everyday life and sports, involving 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 ligaments. However, this mobility can be disadvantageous for cycling, as it prevents optimal power transmission to the pedal. Everyday or outdoor shoes often used for touring and trekking do not stabilize the foot on typical platform pedals. The lack of optimal alignment of the foot-knee-hip axis often causes discomfort in the feet and/or knees. The ergonomic IP Touring Solestar insole addresses these issues.

Patented Stabilization Delta

The patented Solestar Stabilization Delta in the IP Touring Solestar maintains the foot in a natural, neutral position and prevents 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.

Optimal Support

All cyclists, whether professionals on road bikes or recreational touring/trekking riders, need stability in the foot. This is especially important in loose-fitting shoes with soft soles, commonly worn on leisure tours without clipless pedals. The Ergon insoles provide the necessary support and stability, crucial for comfort on longer rides. Additionally, the IP Touring Solestar allows for comfortable walking off the bike.

Ergonomics Well Thought Out

Feet naturally move inward and outward under load (pronation/supination). These movements are biomechanically and ergonomically disadvantageous on the bike, causing loss of strength and strain on ligaments, tendons, and joints. The IP Touring Solestar effectively prevents these movements, keeping the feet stable and enabling comfortable, relaxed cycling.

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 Touring Solestar insoles can significantly reduce these discomforts.

Three Layers for Power and Comfort

The IP Touring Solestar is constructed from three layers of different materials that complement each other perfectly. The robust surface is made of non-slip nylon fabric, the stabilization shell is made of fiberglass composite to ensure effective power transmission, and the 3-D padding is made of closed-cell orthopedic EVA foam for optimal cushioning.

Ecologically Refined to a High Standard

Sustainability is a high priority at Ergon. Under the "GreenLab" initiative, we use the most environmentally friendly materials possible in the development of our products. For example, the orthopedic 3D foam padding of the IP Touring Solestar contains finely ground walnut shells. This natural product enhances the EVA material's ecological quality and helps maintain a pleasant foot temperature. The antibacterial, closed-cell material prevents sweat, germs, bacteria, and fungi from penetrating the sole, preventing unpleasant odors and providing a hygienic, pleasant feeling for the foot.

Renowned Worldwide

Ergon developed the IP Pro together with the renowned insole specialist Solestar. Solestar has established itself internationally in professional cycling for years with its cycling insoles and is a supplier to numerous world-class cyclists and professional teams. Now, touring and trekking riders can also benefit from this technology with insoles specifically designed for them.
