Creating Custom Molded Anatomic Sport Solutions
est 2019Explore Our Current Lineup
Your shoes and boots decide how every stroke, stride and turn reaches the ground. Stock insoles are made for an average foot. Ours are molded to yours. You get full contact under the whole foot, support where you need it, and a stable platform for your power to push against.
Molded to your foot, left and right built separately
Full-contact support spreads pressure and cuts down on hot spots and numbness
A stable heel and arch keep your foot from shifting inside the shoe
Low profile, so they fit your existing shoes and boots
Choose your activity:
Fixed Foot: Your foot is locked in place, as in cycling, alpine and nordic skiing, and skating. Built for stability and power transfer.
Gated: Your foot moves through a stride, as in running, hiking, walking and field sports. Built to support the foot through each step.
Custom molded arm cups for your aero bars, shaped to your forearms so you can hold your fastest position for longer.
The aero position only matters if you can hold it. Stock pads compress, slide and push pressure into a few points, and then you start sitting up. Our arm cups are molded to your forearms. You get full contact, a secure cradle and a position you land in the same way every time.

Custom molded slalom shin guards, shaped to your leg to take gate after gate.
In slalom, your shins take the hits so your line doesn't have to change. Stock guards shift, gap and bang against your boot. Ours are molded to your leg and boot. They sit flush, stay in place and spread the force of each gate strike, so you can drive the line without flinching.
Features:
Molded to your shin and fit to your boot
Sits flush, with no shifting or gapping in the course
Built to take repeated gate impacts
Custom molded arm cups for your aero bars, shaped to your forearms so you can hold your fastest position for longer.
The aero position only matters if you can hold it. Stock pads compress, slide and push pressure into a few points, and then you start sitting up. Our arm cups are molded to your forearms. You get full contact, a secure cradle and a position you land in the same way every time. In UCI time trials, you race within set equipment and position limits. These cups give you a fully custom forearm fit designed for those events

Molded to your forearms for full contact and stability
Designed for UCI-sanctioned time trials
Holds a repeatable race position
Spreads pressure for long efforts at threshold
Compatible with most aerobar systems
Custom molded shin guards for field and contact sports, made to sit flush and stay put.
Generic guards slide, rub and leave gaps in the places you most need covered. Ours are molded to your leg, so they follow the shape of your shin and stay in place through the whole game.
Features:
Molded to your leg for full coverage
No slipping or rotating during play
Low profile under socks
Spreads impact across the whole guard
Your gear is already tuned. Now make it fit you.
Foot Mechanix was founded in 2019 by Tim Mitchell, the former head coach of Harvard University’s alpine ski team with a background in exercise physiology. Years of coaching showed him that fit makes or breaks performance. His training in physiology showed him why.
We make custom molded, anatomic sport solutions: footbeds, time trial arm cups and shin guards. Each one is shaped to a single athlete's body.
Our work sits where your body meets your equipment: your feet in the shoe or boot, your forearms on the aerobars, your shins against the gates. A fit that's close enough costs you power, comfort and protection. We replace close enough with an exact fit.
Every piece is molded to you. Nothing comes off a shelf.
