Put your foot down when it comes to pedaling.
Along with shoes, Giro saw the need for better insoles. They so liked the results of their insole design work that they're selling them as an after-market accessory, the SuperNatural Fit Kit. Their goals were to make their insoles more comfortable for a wide range of foot types, and that they'd offer enough adjustability to perhaps negate the need for investing in custom insoles.
One of the few benefits of the wafer-thin insole that many shoe companies supply with shoes is that it is wafer thin. No bulk in what is an extremely close-fitting shoe is most often a good thing. This keeps the ball of the foot very close to the sole and in turn the pedal spindle, minimizing stack height, and it keeps the heel very low in the heel cup, maximizing the cup's ability to hold the heel down. Giro started with these two benefits and added one of the benefits of custom insoles; arch support. Arch support, is critical for cycling comfort. When the leg pushes down on the foot, the arch can flex, which can lead to shoe movement, which can lead to alignment issues, to the foot moving in the shoe, to developing hot spots.
Another benefit of custom and semi-custom insoles is a "metatarsal button" that provides greater mid-foot comfort. Giro has included a subtle button as they've found wide variation in individual rider's ability to find such a feature comfortable.
The base of the insole is a thin layer of EVA foam. It's thick enough that normal use of the insoles will help to customize, or tune, or crush some of the EVA so that you'll see divots in the foam after a few rides. This will increase the surface area of contact points, which should increase comfort, but the EVA is secondary to the three arch supports that come with each insole.
There is a small, medium, and large arch. They can be easily and quickly swapped in and out. The small maintains the contour of the insole itself. The medium adds 3mm to the arch compared to the small. The large adds another 3mm beyond the medium. These are easy to use. First, in either bare or thinly-socked feet, place the support under your foot. Try different sizes until you find one that seems snug against your foot. You want it close because you don't want your arch acting like a leaf-spring each pedal stroke. Figure out the size. Ride. Adjust if necessary.
The insoles are covered with X-Static fabric. The name is familiar because you've already seen Giro and others use it in helmet pads. It's a silver, the mineral, fiber that is bonded to a polyester fabric to make the fabric anti-microbial, anti-stink.
You'll see that each size of the Giro SuperNatural Fit Kit fits a number of size shoes. These are "trim to fit" insoles and there's a cutting guide underneath each insole, but your best bet is to either compare it to your stock insole or shove it inside your shoe before commencing on any alterations.

Just what I needed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For those of us with odd or problematic feet we search for relief from our various ailments. The particular benefits for me is the metatarsal button which relieves a painful spot under the ball of my right foot. And the interchangeable arch supports. I use a medium on the right and a small on the left. Finally being able to "tune" an insole has been great.
Installation of these in my Bont Vapor shoes took 92 seconds of effort.
Shreddy Mercury
Great alternative to Superfeet
I have typically used black superfeets for insoles and they have worked well. I wanted more arch support than what was in the Superfeet, but I would have to compromise and get an insole that was thicker in the superfeet to have adequate arch support. With these, I can fine tune the arch support and still keep the thin insole.
I also use Giro shoes, so it was a no brainer and fitting these insoles in their own shoes were perfect, not that trimming for other shoes would be an issue.
Changing the arch support is easy and the velcro holds the support in place and doesn't move.
I had foot pains with the stock insoles, but have had no pains during 15-20 mile mountain bike rides. Time will tell on how comfortable they are during longer rides, but initial impressions are great!

Nice inserts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I had to replace them when I threw my last pair in the dryer (bad idea, by the way). Nice insert to help keep me in the saddle for 100+ mile rides. These are quality inserts - highly recommended (even if they can't be dried).
Brian Bernard
Worth every penny
I have a pair of Fizik R3 shoes that fit quite well, but I was having foot pain on longer rides. My feet are pretty normal, if a touch wide, but my arches have gotten fairly high after a few years of wearing low-support/minimal shoes. I dropped these insoles in, with the highest-support attachment, since that's what I use in my Giro mountain shoes. I rode about 50 miles in them today, with virtually no foot pain.
The arch-size inserts attach using a double velcro, and I've never had it slip in my mountain shoes, and don't expect it to in these. You can trim them to fit fairly easily by matching your shoes' insole to the Giro version, drawing a line, and getting after it with some scissors.
Thanks for the great write up Brian. I need a good insole for sure.

I am looking for foodbed for my boyfriend. His feet got hurt when he walks more often, especially at the heel. Do you think this product can help hm? Can this product fit inside every kind of shoes? He wear size 9, can you teld me what size of the foodbed I should buy
Ted Fundoukos
I use these. http://www.powersteps.com/
You have to take out the inner shoe sole that comes with the shoe to get them to fit. Most shoes you can easily remove them. Some are glued. These will help if you have plantae fasciaitis or other arch pain.

Madagascar is home to a striking collection of biodiversity, filled with species found nowhere else in the world. In 25 years of conservation investment and development work, an impressive network of national parks has been formed, the rate of deforestation has been slowed, and the knowledge and understanding of Madagascar's environment has greatly increased. However, much work remains. A 2009 coup has resulted in the withdrawal of U.S. Government support (and with it many international NGOs working there) and widespread humanitarian and economic decline. At the same time, environmental destruction has been on the rise, including unsustainable logging and bushmeat hunting. This meeting will feature the results of a 25-year review of USAID environmental work in Madagascar and the current situation, as well as exploring several scenarios for future interventions there.

It was the fourth overtime for Hebron Christian in this very early season. The Eagles' Taylor Coggins swished the corner three which sent the game to overtime tied at 47. But the Generals were too much for Hebron as Washington used the Eagles' critical mistakes to turn the tide and defeat Hebron in overtime 59-49.
"It is a hard loss because it is a game that got away from us," said Head Coach Gary Vaughn after an agonizing defeat, "We should have claimed that one and done some different things toward the final stretch."
After a scoreless first three minutes, Hebron used Drew Myatt's first bucket and three Will Corbin Rogers buckets to rush out to an early 8-0 lead. James Alan Moore and Hayden Carty both added buckets to close out the quarter in the Eagles' favor 12-2. In the second quarter, the Generals rushed out with an early 7-2 scoring stretch to close the Hebron lead. Washington outplayed and outscored the Eagles 17-8 in the period but was not able to hold a lead over Hebron. The scoreboard read 20-19 in favor of Hebron.
The third quarter of play saw multiple lead changes as the Eagles and Generals battled back and forth for dominance. The pace was blistering and the action was hot, and after falling behind 34-30, Hebron used a 6-0 run to close out the quarter and regain the lead 36-34.
Yet again, Washington used the depth on their bench to tire the Eagles. A 7-4 General –led scoring stretch saw Washington gain their second biggest lead of the game 45-40. Hebron though was resilient and pressed on using a great 2-3 zone to keep Washington at bay. With one minute remaining, Hebron closed the gap to 45-42 with two Rogers' free-throws. Then the Eagles' Myatt drew the game closer with a strong move into the paint. As the seconds ticked off the clock, the Eagles were forced to foul and send the Generals to free-throw line making the game 47-44. With time near expiring, Coggins was found open in the corner and drained the tying three-pointer.
As the game was forced to overtime, Hebron seemed to lose some of their edge and could not keep the Generals off the free-throw line dashing the single-A Eagles upset hopes. Washington used 7 free-throws and 2 two-pointers to outscore the Eagles 12-2 in the overtime period and go onto win 59-49.
Leading the scoring column for the Eagles was Rogers with 18 points. Also contributing were Myatt with 9 points, Coggins with 8 points (2 three-pointers), Carty and Moore with 7 points closing out the Hebron scorers.
Hebron now sits with an 8-3 overall record and 2-0 in district. Having played four overtimes, the Eagles are 2-2 in games sent to overtime. Hebron Christian will need to have a short memory as they return to the court Thursday December 13 at Victory Christian of Columbus. The last contest between the Eagles and Victory went Hebron's favor 59-31.

INSIDE Secure (NYSE Euronext Paris: INSD), a leader in embedded security solutions for mobile and connected devices today announces it has licensed its downloadable DRM Fusion Agent™ software to Sky Deutschland AG. Sky Deutschland will use it to protect premium video content delivery for its Snap online media service.
INSIDE Secure's DRM Fusion Agent software is embedded in Sky Deutschland's Snap apps for Android and iOS based devices. Snap is a new TV and movie OTT (Over-The-Top) offering, available to existing customers as well as non-Sky subscribers. OTT refers to the delivery of video, audio and other media over the internet without being subject to distribution via a cable or broadcast satellite operator.
INSIDE Secure's downloadable DRM provides the critical and studio-approved Digital Rights Management (DRM) needed to protect Snap's VOD library. The library includes thousands of films on top of TV season box-sets, HBO library content, movies, children's programs and Disney content. Snap is available on the internet, iPad, iPhone, selected Samsung Galaxy devices and Smart TVs.
"INSIDE Secure's DRM Fusion Agent greatly contributes towards securing digital content deals for pay-TV providers. It supports Snap's operation as a successful platform, enabling us to bring an extensive content catalog to our existing customers and, more importantly, to a whole new audience," said Euan Smith, Executive Vice President Product & Operations at Sky Deutschland. "Sky pioneered the concept of a content rich, live and on demand entertainment service with Sky Go. Snap expands this service by giving Sky customers and all entertainment fans the chance to enjoy a wide new selection of top quality content from the Sky collection."
"Our collaboration with Sky Deutschland is increasing testament to our market leadership in downloadable DRM for securely distributing high value content," said Simon Blake Wilson, executive vice president of the Mobile Security division at INSIDE Secure. "With leading customers like Sky, the BBC, HBO, Amazon and others as well as with all the major Hollywood studios, we are increasingly establishing our DRM Fusion Agent as the de facto DRM solution that also offers the best user experience on multi-screens."
INSIDE's DRM Fusion Agent is the world's leading DRM solution for Android, iOS and BlackBerry 10 (BB10) devices. Consumers worldwide have already downloaded more than 80 million mobile apps with downloadable DRM Fusion Agent software embedded in them, protecting billions of premium content playbacks.
In addition, DRM Fusion Agent offers multiple content protection technologies both in software only and hardware implementations. This in turn enables the ever-growing business of distributing premium content to be played on Apple iOS, Android and BB10-based devices. Approved for use by Apple, Microsoft, BlackBerry and all the major Hollywood studios, the downloadable DRM Fusion Agent software provides feature-rich and multi-layered content protection, as well as rights management for multiple device platforms.
The INSIDE downloadable DRM Fusion Agent software enables distribution of high-value content and dramatically reduces DRM implementation costs and time to market. It also enables media companies and high-value content providers to achieve revenue from service deployment more quickly by eliminating the dependence on device manufacturers.

Leaders charged with running Orange County's cities, hospitals, schools, airports and other agencies are taking a collective deep breath as they wait to see how the federal cuts approved this week play out.
The business community and some agencies don't expect much in the way of repercussions. Officials in some cities said they won't be affected at all. While in others the prediction is that cuts could trickle down to street-level services, from community centers to Boys & Girls Clubs. And hardest hit of all, some said, are the poor, the sick and the young.
Overall, however, the jury is out on how deep and how far the budget reductions known as "sequester cuts" will go.
"I'm not sure the impact we feared will be as severe," said Kingsley Okereke, Garden Grove's finance director. "Everybody was at first frightened by that big $85 million number. There will be some impact. How much – we don't know yet."
Sequestration could result in a $7 million, or 5 percent, reduction in housing assistance programs, which provide rent vouchers for low-income families, according to a County Executive Office report.
The county's 12 family resource centers, which aim to prevent child abuse, and other services for children will see federal funding cut by an estimated $220,000, or 7 percent, the report states. In addition, child welfare services, foster care assistance and child care for needy families are being cut by an estimated $580,000.
On a municipal level, officials including in Fullerton, Orange, Placentia, Rancho Santa Margarita and Yorba Linda said they don't expect to feel any pain from the cuts. "Our three major revenue sources are sales tax, property tax and hotel tax," said Irvine spokesman Craig Reem. "Those three are non-federal sources of funding. We will wait for details as to whether there are any impacts from the federal level."
Others, such as in Mission Viejo and Garden Grove, said they expect to receive a 5 percent to 10 percent reduction in federally funded programs in the next fiscal year. Those programs include money to help with housing assistance to the poor and people with AIDS.
Officials in several cities, including Lake Forest and Anaheim, expressed concern about cuts to the Community Development Block Grant Program, which supports community centers, affordable housing and other projects.
"When you're a small city, 10 percent makes a big difference," said Chet Simmons, assistant to the Westminster city manager.
The county Health Care Agency says cuts are possible in areas including immunizations, drug treatment and HIV prevention; while physicians, hospitals and other Medicare providers will have their reimbursement payments from the federal program reduced by 2 percent.
In education, school officials are bracing for sequester cuts expected to take effect in June that could reduce funding to the Head Start preschool program, special education and Title 1 programs, which provide help to students at risk of failing and to students from impoverished families.
