Cycling-Specific
Feet move differently in rigid cycling shoes — VARUS by Mik.Fit is engineered specifically for how your foot moves and applies force on the bike. Not adapted. Not repurposed. Built for cycling from the ground up.
Evolution: From Full Customisation to Full Accessibility
Developed over 20 years, +20 Olympic/Paralympic golds, countless Word, European & National Champs and stage victories across all three Grand Tours, this once exclusive, in-person, fully customised insole approach made one athlete at a time, is now accessible to every rider, everywhere.
Engage the Joint That Drives Every Pedal Stroke
While most cycling insoles ignore the medial forefoot, VARUS by Mik.Fit targets it. Altering the platform angle beneath the forefoot to meet each rider’s optimal position quickens the body’s reaction against the pedal, maintains better rotational alignment and distributes pressure more evenly.
Dial In Your Fit Like an Olympic Champion
The modular wedge kit includes six interchangeable wedge pairs that vary in height, giving you the same near-custom biomechanical adjustability Mick's elite athletes receive. No specialist appointments. No custom moulding. Just precise, repeatable forefoot support tailored to your body on your own bike.
Simple At-Home Fitting App. No Specialist Appointment.
The app-guided fitting system walks you through a step-by-step process at home using any static trainer, replicating Mick's professional fitting session. Data from over 1,000 of our riders shows more than 88% benefited from medial wedge alignment. That same solution is now in your hands.
Peloton Approved.
High Performance Design Wastes Nothing.
Compression moulded high-modulus carbon-fibre for ultimate stiffness : weight with injection moulded TPU forefoot wedges for optimal vibration dampening, VARUS by Mik.Fit weighs between 35–45g per insole in size EU42. This meets the Pro Peloton's demands without compromise.

Every cyclist chases marginal gains.
We upgrade our bikes. We fine-tune our training. We invest in lighter components and better equipment.
But one of the biggest opportunities for better performance has been inside our shoes all along.
The Hidden Performance Gap
After analyzing more than 1,000 cyclists, one thing became clear. Nearly 9 out of 10 riders needed more support beneath the forefoot to create a stable platform for efficient power transfer.
Without a stable foundation beneath the forefoot, power leaks away.

Not another insole. A completely different way of thinking about cycling performance.
Feet move differently inside rigid cycling shoes. VARUS was designed around how your foot actually moves and applies force during the pedal stroke.
The result is a more stable, more efficient connection between you and your bike.
Built around biomechanics. Designed for the way cyclists actually ride.
A rigid carbon-fibre arch provides a stable foundation beneath the foot. Adjustable forefoot support lets you fine-tune the system to your own biomechanics.
One system. Multiple configurations. Because every rider, and every foot, is different.
More than support.
More power.
More stability.
Less pain.
Helping you get more from every pedal stroke.
Refined at the highest level.
Created by cycling performance podiatrist Mick Habgood. Refined over more than 20 years working with Olympic champions and World Tour professionals.
Now those same biomechanical principles are available to every cyclist.
Every great ride starts with a solid foundation.
