Mid-Foot Cycling. Your Shortcut to Comfort.

Thanks for engineering such a wonderful product. I just ordered my second set of comp cleat adapters.

William, New York

I have been using these on the turbo for 6 months and outside for 3 months. As a triathlete with a history of ankle injuries this has worked wonders for me, I can now run off the bike with no ankle pain and all my runs feel easier. Haven't had any loss in power or speed on the bike.

Just wanted to say thanks, the second set arrived and after a week of rides I am really happy! They work so well for my ankles which have old football injuries . Thankyou. I will be getting another set for myother shoes soon!

Easy to fit and greatly simplfy fitting and stack height.  I've probably had them on for about 10 days now without any issue, working as described which is great. Brilliant adapters, hopefully Wahoo's updating of Speedplay will increase their popularity and demand for these adapters for you.

Balance your Feet

We humans naturally balance and distribute our weight between the heel and the front foot when walking and standing.

We should do so too when we pedal our bikes!

Improve your ride comfort by moving your cleats and pedals towards the heels!

Better ergonomics and comfort => Better restitution and more fun => Better training => Better Race!

The five Mid-Foot Benefits

1) Avoid hot-spots and front foot pain (metatarsalgia).

2) Eliminate heel-drop .

3) Protect your Achilles tendons.

4) Relax your calves and look GOOD at your bike-run transition!

5) Mid-foot cycling reduces the heel-joint movement, so you can lower your saddle a bit and reduce drag.

And the Professionals?

Also top-level triathletes place their cleats far back on the shoes.

Check out the cleat positions of triathlon champions like Daniela Ryf (4x winner IM Hawaii) and Jan Frodeno (winner IM Frankfurt 2019 in 7:56).

Meet your new Friends

Our PatroCleats adapters allow you to adjust your cleats 0-24mm toward the heels.

Just screw on the adapters, screw on your trusted cleats and go cycling.

Your feet and legs will LOVE the improved balance. (As will your race finishing times.)

Compatibility

The adapters have been tested on a variety of shoes with all available cleat types for road cycling.

Shimano SPD-SL, Time and Look Keo: See ERGO3 in the shop.

Speedplay/Wahoo: See SPPL4 in the shop

SPD and Crankbrothers: See BOLT2 in the shop

COMPATIBILTY WARANTY. If the adapters don't fit your shoes, then we give you a 100% refund.

Compact, Strong and Light

You barely see the 3mm thick black anodized adapters, made of aerospace grade aluminium and American fasteners.

The weight? Only 24 grams!

Does this sound familiar?

Do you ever have pain under your front feet when cycling?

Do your heels drop as cycling fatigue sets in?

Are your calves sometimes a limiting factor?

Struggle to get up to running speed at your triathlon bike-run transition?

***

We USED TO have all these problems too.

One day we decided not to put up with it anymore and started developing and testing the Mid-Foot adapters.

We use them, we love them and so will you.
