44% less pressure on the forefoot
Using data from over 100,000 RETÜL 3D foot scans and more than 2,000 hours of rigorous on-bike testing, we’ve proven that the new Body Geometry last harmonizes power, efficiency, and comfort like never before. Meticulously designed to conform to the natural shape of the foot, the new last offers cyclists a wider toe box, allowing the toes to spread naturally to improve comfort and performance. This innovative, data-driven approach has resulted in a last that reduces pressure on the forefoot by 44% compared to traditional designs, without sacrificing efficiency, offering unmatched performance and comfort—shaped by nature, backed by science.
Varus Wedge
With a built-in 1.5 mm Varus wedge, Body Geometry shoes stabilize the natural movement of the forefoot and improve alignment of the knee and hip, increasing power and adding an average of 10 seconds to your time to exhaustion during intense efforts.
Metatarsal Button
A cycling shoe must fit properly to achieve optimal pedaling power and a secure connection to the bike. Most shoes attempt this with forefoot compression, which squeezes nerves and arteries, causing pain, numbness, and burning sensations. The Body Geometry metatarsal pad solves this by lifting and separating the metatarsal bones, preventing nerve pinching and arterial compression. The result? A secure, precise fit—without pain!
Longitudinal Arch
The foot’s arch acts like a flat spring, absorbing impact during heel or forefoot strikes and returning energy at the end of the stride—which is ideal for walking and running, but not for cycling. For optimal cycling performance, the foot must function as a rigid lever. Body Geometry technology solves this with the patented longitudinal arch in the sole, providing rigid support. This design, combined with customizable insoles, prevents arch collapse and maximizes power transfer.
