looking for some help in trying to find somewhere to make me some custom insoles for my cycling shoes, I live in Kettering (Northants) but happy to travel a reasonable distance for the right solution.
the background
- recently diagnosed with morton's neuroma in my right foot, which has forced to come to terms with the fact that my cycling shoes dating from 2008 are battered and have done far too many miles. now in the process of investing in new shoes and would like custom insoles to go with them
thanks in advance

I had surgery for Mortons neuroma in right foot a year ago. Am using spesh shoes with blue insoles, which have been checked out by podiatrist in gait analysis and in a bike fit. Still hurts, hardest bit is when it gets cold, as have 2 numb toes all the time...
What I would say is get a good podiatrist who understands cycling too
e-soles are very good.A pain now cycle fit are chrging £65 for them (were £40) but still very good.
Colin at [url= http://www.solutions4feet.co.uk/index.php ]Solutions for Feet[/url] is good - I had some custom orthotics done for my ski boots, then my bike shoes and they're really good. They're in Bicester so not too far from you?
thanks all, will have a look.
referred to a podiatrist by the GP, will see what they suggest

I was going to get a pair of [url= http://nuovahealth.co.uk/shop/plantar-fasciitis-arch-support-insoles/ ]arch supports[/url]... but why are custom ones so much better? was gonna go with arch support insoles because they protect the arch and designed to stop plantar fasciitis i think that's how you spell it
I have osteoarthritis in my right big toe. Eventually got referred to Orthotics at St. Luke's Bradford for custom moulded insoles. They are just right in arch support and stiffness. I was impressed. What are the NHS services near you like ?
If you could get referred to Northampton general try to get to see [url= http://billribbans.com/ ]Professor Ribbans[/url] or got the money could go private with him.
Sidas are good, I got mine done at sigma in Kingston but I'm sure there are others round the country. They do a thin carbon one if there's not much room in the shoe but its mostly for midfoot, arch and heel areas and not that stiff round the toes, you probably need the thicker one for that.
I've used comform'able for 15 years (sidas?). I now have 3 prs of custom moulded comform'able insoles all the same, just different ages, and swap them between shoes/boots. For work/walking/mountaineering/biking I always now use them. Made a big difference to stop sore knees on long walks many years ago and tired legs at work (spend all day on my feet), now just use them all the time in shoes/trainers/boots.
