Description
Due to the poor design of some cycling shoes, or the underlying nature of their foot structure, people are forced to pedal from their toes. This may cause pain, discomfort, and a severe loss of power and stability in your connection to the pedals.
The PatroCleats Cleat Adapters (midfoot cycling) for Speedplay and Wahoo (SPPL4) are the game-changing solution! They offer you a range of 10 – 20mm cleat/pedal displacement to the rear of the standard cleat mounting holes on your cycling shoes.
Features
- The cleat adapter mounts directly to your shoe, and then the cleats are mounted to the adapter.
- The Patrocleats cleat adapters are low-profile, curved, and machined lightweight aluminum pieces with additional cleat mounting holes.
- Provide a greater range of rearward cleat location than typically available. This brings your feet further forward on the pedals.
Benefits
- Moves the cleats away from hot spots and potentially eliminates pain from Metatarsalgia or Mortons Neuroma
- Reduces heel drop
- Reduces strain on your Achilles tendons which may prevent or reduce tendinitis
- Spare triathletes’ calves for the run
- Reduces heel movement and enables a lower seat post and lower drag
- Pain and/or discomfort reduction for people forced to pedal from their toes due to the poor design of some cycling shoes, or the underlying nature of their foot structure

The product doesn’t quite work well with my CX332 shoes. Oh well.
