Description
G8 Performance provides fully customizable insoles to increase power, strength and reduce injury.
The Pro Series 2620 is purpose designed for technical shoes where minimal foot movement and direct power transfer is paramount and full sensation is essential. These are probably the best cycling shoe insoles available.
Fully customizable and low volume, the 2620’s are engineered to increase forefoot flex and blood flow to maximize force transfer and reduce injury.
The Pro Series 2620 provide a solid base which can be adjusted to accommodate as foot adaptations take place over time.
Yes, they cost more than many other insole brands, but this is still a lot less than a custom orthotic. The G8 Pro Series 2620 is a major upgrade compared to other aftermarket insoles and unlike a custom molded insole or a fully custom orthotic support, you can change the configuration of this insole as your feet adapt. It is NOT a heat moldable insole that is formed to one profile.
Features and Benefits
The Pro Series 2620 comes with 5 different arch height options, for which there are 11 possible positions for each foot. It also incorporates a small inbuilt metatarsul pad and a solid narrow heel box.
The arch height and position options allow for a nuanced fit to fully support the foot and improve alignment up to the knee joint. The metatarsul pad lifts and spreads the toes, reducing numb feet or hot feet, and the narrow heelbox helps anchor and stabilize the foot in the shoe.
Sizing
The Pro Series 2620 are available in 4 sizes:
- Small (Eu 37 – 40)
- Medium (Eu 41 – 43)
- Large (Eu 44 – 46)
- Extra Large (Eu 47 – 49)

More Advice?
Please email or call me if you would like to discuss these more. As well as selling them online here I use them myself and recommend them to many clients who come to see me for a bike fitting. They work wonders for people with extremely high arches like myself, as well as people with very flat feet, and all types in between.
Reed Markley (verified owner) –
I used these insoles to compensate for flat feet while bicycling. I used the 5 level, the highest, on my left foot, and the 2 level on my right foot to straighten my legs so that my knees tracked over my feet, rather than being off to one side. It eliminated the leg pain, and I can cycle longer and harder now. Money well spent.
Perhaps one shouldn’t try self bike fitting, but there is a lot of literature about this specific problem. Followed the directions, and it worked.
