Optimized Shoe Last:
– The Toe-Spring Section Of A Cycling Shoe Plays A Key Role In Supporting Efficient Pedaling. Too High, And It Causes Increased Tension In The Plantar, Calf, And Hamstring Muscles. Too Low, And You Get A Bowlegged, Inefficient Pedaling Form. Extensive Research By Shimano´s R&D Experts Has Produced A Superior Shoe Last Design With An Optimized Toe-Spring Section That Promotes A Smoother, More Energy-Efficient Upstroke. Built Based On Feedback From Pro Riders, Shimano Dynalast Helps Reduce Energy Loss On Long Rides, Letting You Keep More In The Tank For That Final Sprint To The Line.

6 Standard Arch Length For Initial Cleat Placement:
– Set The Arch Length According To The Difference Between Shoe Size And Measured Arch Length. If The Arch Length Is Longer Or Shorter Than The Shoe Size, The Cleat Will Be Moved By 4 Mm Per Difference In Size. *For Example, If The Shoe Size Is 43 And The Arch Length Measurement Is 44, The Cleat Would Be Moved 4 Mm Forward, Toward The Toe End, From The Center Position Of The Shoe.

– If The Measured Arch Length And Shoe Size Are Equal, Set The Cleat At The Standard Cleat Position (See Table Below) Which Is At The Center Of The Ball Of The Foot.
– If The Measured Arch Length Is Longer Than The Shoe Size, Move The Cleat Forward, Toward The Toe Side, The Required Length From The Center Position.
– If The Measured Arch Length Is Shorter Than The Shoe Size, Move The Cleat Back, Toward The Heel Side, The Required Length From The Center Position.

7 Optimized Cleat Position And Adjustment:
– Shimano Brannock Device Foot Measurement Information Can Also Make It Possible To Attach Cleats In The Recommended Cleat Position At The Center Of The Ball Of The Foot. After Setting The Cleat At The Standard Position, You Can Then Fine-Tune The Cleat Position To Improve Bike Control.
