Orthopedic correction device for cyclists fits between shoe and pedal as rubberized or underside-roughened wedge shape to angle in-shoe foot round pedal axis

摘要

Device (3) between shoe (1) and pedal (2) enables riders foot to be inclined relative plane of pedal during cycling. Pedal lies parallel to direction of advance and with its longitudinal axis in plane of pedal so any inclination takes place round this same axis. In use pedal is at right angles to direction of advance so inclination occurs round transverse axis (5) lying in plane of pedal and normal to longitudinal axis. The device fitted to or inside the shoe is latched in place preferably fitted to the shoe sole so as to lie between shoe and pedal. A wedge (7) forming part of the device imparts the required inclination and can be slip-proofly roughened on its underside.
