Dirtbike riders who take their training seriously will think nothing of buying athletic shoes with proper insoles that offer arch support to maximize comfort . Now, MX Orthotics has designed insoles for the footwear that dirtbike riders probably like to wear the most, their motocross or off-road boots.
Face it, in addition to the beating that our feet take just from walking around every day, hard dirtbike riding can punish a rider’s feet even more. Good orthotics can be helpful in mitigating aches and pains and limit over-pronation, which can become more severe as we age. Over the long-run (pardon the pun), over-pronation can lead to serious problems such as heel pain, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia (painful inflammation in the ball of the foot), knee pain and lower back pain. Take away the cushion of the arch can be like riding a dirtbike with no suspension.
MX Orthotics are specifically designed to cushion and support the feet when standing atop footpegs with MX or off-road boots. They can be slipped right into the boot where their dense, comfortable foam is claimed to offer a larger surface area to dissipate the load on a rider’s feet, legs, and back. An anti-microbial cover is bonded to the nylon base of each orthotic, which also features a heel cup designed for extra support.
MX Orthics are currently available in sizes 9-12.5.
