One of the great sponsors that I have is Shimano. They supply me with great shoes and pedals every season! This year they have come out with a top of the line custom fit shoe. Let me explain the process. First of all, they have this new heating machine that heats up the insole and the shoe separately. The insole is done first. It is heated up, then placed in the shoe with your foot for about 1.5 minutes. Then, waaaallllla, your insole has been shaped to your instep!!!

Step number two is when the actual shoe is heated up and then contoured to your foot. You put your foot into the heated shoe, then a plastic bag is wrapped around your foot and lower leg, a suction tube then sucks all of the air out and you must sit and wait about 2.5 minutes for the shoe to take shape to your foot. It feels pretty weird at first, but you get used to the feeling.

Step three is to let them cool down and harden to the shape they have just formed. Here you can see the perfect fit!!! They fit like socks, and feel so comfortable. I can't wait to give them a try!!! I highly recommend these shoes, they are a bit pricey, but hey, aren't your feet worth it?????
