Ever since I got my first set of orthotics back in college following my first round with Achilles tendinitisI have wanted to make my own custom footbeds. I guess that turned one thing into another and I finally ended up completing (mostly) a set of custom cycling shoes. I made the foot molds a year or so ago, and the soles have seen fits of work every now and again, but I finally cobbled together the uppers and soles this week.
The uppers are a pair of Allen Edmonds Oxford shoes that I got on eBay. They were too big, but cheap enough that it wasn't worth relisting them. With a bit of trimming, they formed fairly nicely to the soles. I hope to try them out this weekend. We'll see if they wreck any of my body parts.
