Russell, I agree with you concerning Scott Petersen. I have a pair of Petersen footbeds in my Sidi's that began life in my ski boots over 20 years ago. I have a super high arch, and without the footbeds skiing sucked. When I put them in my cycling shoes for the first time, it was like getting a new bike. Much better power transfer and no more hot foot, or sore ankles. Well, that's my story.

You live in Bend, home of the orthotics master, Scott Peterson. I'd recommend giving him a call.

Hi All

I got a lot of responses which I will run with. Seems like custom orthotics work for most, but not all, cyclists with problems. thanks for all those who replied. If you want a summary of my responses, I will tell you off-line, because some were not too complimentary and I don't want to publicly criticize anyone with third hand info.
