Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 42 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers are really happy with the product, often describing it as a "game changer" that effectively resolves issues like knee pain, metatarsalgia, and Achilles/calf problems. Many appreciate the high quality of the products and the comfort they provide during rides, with some noting improved performance. However, some customers also noted issues with the provided Phillips screws, finding them prone to stripping and not strong enough to hold the adapter securely without additional thread lock. A few people mentioned that the added thickness of the adapter can cause cleats to touch the ground, and some experienced a loose fit between the 3D print and the adapter. Additionally, a small number of reviewers did not receive their cleat or found the business management lacking, and some mentioned a desire for clearer fitting instructions.

Honestly the best move I've made when it comes to setting up my position on the bike in 25 years of cycling. Mid-Foot mounting is a game changer and should be more widely educated and adopted in th... See more

The idea is amazing and personally it really helped me with my metatarsalgia. But there are few things I wish were different. 1. The screws provided with the adapter are Phillips screws... See more

Really good

I have used these previously whilst doing triathlon. Certainly after the bike you do notice the legs feeling a lot fresher

Good but not perfect

Product good and selling/sending was untroubled. Fitting bolts for the right length, not to hit the carbon sole is a bother you should find a fix for. And when I asked if your pedals eventually will be produced for heavier riders/ roadies, I didn't really get an answer. I was told to buy the adapter, which I already had...

Look compatible, but with a lot of hassle.

It would be easier to provide Look compatible screws with different lengths in stead of a tutorial how to shorten the standard screws...

Almost one month after I got the cleats, and I was still not able to mount them correctly...

Second purchase says it all

Having bought one set in the summer, these are going on my winter boots. Much more comfortable cycling, and while it’s subjective, more power to the pedals! Second purchase says it all.

Great product, but not all pedals might fit

I have two pairs of SPD-SL adapters that I use since 3 years and I’m very happy with them :) Yet I have ordered one pair of SPD adapters and unfortunately they did not work with my SPD pedals (those are a bit specific: one side SPD the other is flat), namely clipping shoe to the pedal was very difficult, I had to spend anything between 5-30 seconds to clip my pedal after a stop :( Thus I had to switch to SPD-SL and the SPD adapters are now on the shelf after just one usage.

Well made - good product

Mid-foot adapters, firstly these are the only ones that I have come across. They seem very well made and were straight forward to fit. Seem good and solid. Unfortunately I haven't yet been able to try them out as it hasn't stopped raining since. ( fair weather cyclist ;) )

Excellent product

Excellent product. Quality construction and does what it is designed to do well. Shipping was a bit slow through the USPS. I wish DHL had a larger presence in the US - they would no doubt expedite the shipping process from Europe to the U.S.

No more numb toes

Due to width that I wanted in the shoes I bought a size bigger, which meant that the cleats were positioned too far forward. With adapters I was able to put them in the original position and later even more to the back. Now I don't have numbness in my toes.

Excellent solution

Excellent solution. Work very well indeed. Saved me buying a new pair of shoes. Now, with these plates, my feet are positioned exactly where I want them - further forward on the pedal - and there's plenty of room for more adjustment if need be.
Make sure you heed the enclosed warning when installing or, like me, you will find yourself pushing the screws into the sole - I added washers to the cleat screws to prevent this. Also, clipping in takes a little getting used to as the front of the plates can catch the pedal (Look). I'm fine now after a couple of rides. But, overall these are superb. Very pleased with the purchase.

Took a chance on this product and could not be happier.It really makes a big difference if you feel that the cleat will not go back far enough. Cleat might only be a few mm back further but it makes massive difference.Definetly recommend this product.
