Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Specialized BG. I swithed to them and can ride 100 miles without hot spots or pain in my feet. You have to fitted for them, but they are well worth it imho.

If you have the Specailzed BG shoes then use the Specialized BG foot beds. I have same type shoes and use the BG footbeds since they will fit better.

The BGs didn't work for me. My left & right foot have different profiles, and each one has a different rate of habituation. My right foot never became comfortable with BGs, and the left foot wanted more. This product https://esoles2.com/store/eFit-SUPPOR...0.aspx#reviews allowed customization without having to purchase additional complete sets of BGs. The e-Soles kit included four arch support heights and two metatarsal support thicknesses. I may max out the left foot on arch support before the right becomes accustomed to the lowest insert. The metatarsal button on the BGs and the metatarsal support of the e-Soles are an improvement over Superfeet's featureless flat sole; I used Superfeet blue for ten years BTW.
