Although materials and fastening systems have changed, the basic design concept is still anchored in outdated concepts of applying running biomechanics to cycling, coupled with Italian dress shoe design looks.  This design approach works well for some, is adequate and accepted by many, and is a source of diminished riding joy and performance for others.</p><p>There has been more change in the “shoe to bike” interface (<a href="https://fitkitsystems.com/a-guide-to-bike-pedal-systems/">pedal systems</a>) than the “foot to shoe” interface. Think about it for a moment – the primary transfer point of biological energy to mechanical energy is the shoe, and significant energy is lost at this transfer interface. In addition, those losses are magnified by any reduction in pedaling forces to cope with discomfort in the feet like painful pressure points, hot feet, foot numbness, overheating, and shoes that are simply the wrong shape and too tight or loose. Complaints about cycling shoes are numerous, and there has not been sufficient innovation to adequately address all the problems, until now.</p><p>A convergence of bio-mechanical research and insights, coupled with engineering advancements in software, material science, and 3D and robotic printing has enabled a fresh take on what a cycling shoe is and how it performs. Enter the LoreOne, a 3D Printed Custom Cycling Shoe. This shoe has been under development for over 3 years and is now available. Lore has thrown everything at this project, harnessing an enormous amount of intellectual effort from a talented multidisciplinary team to reinvent the cycling shoe and how it is made in a quest for the best shoe possible.</p><p>I’ve been involved with the development of the LoreOne  for over 3 years now, contributing as a bike fit advisor and product tester, along with bike fitter and coach <a href="https://www.colbypearce.com/">Colby Pearce</a>.  As a bike fitter, I’ve provided awareness and input on the multitude of issues cyclists experience with their feet and cycling shoes, observations about current cycling shoe designs, and thoughts on <a href="https://fitkitsystems.com/cycling-cleat-positioning-and-adjustments/">cleat placement</a> and pedaling techniques.</p><p>As a multidisciplinary masters cyclist and racer and LoreOne product tester, I’ve logged more miles in the LoreOne than any other tester, reporting on feel and function through side-by-side comparisons (different shoes on different feet), power testing, and training and racing on road and gravel.</p><p>As a cyclist, I’ve had my own share of foot issues in cycling shoes, resulting in unnecessary pain and suffering, lost time, and missed podiums. As a fitter, I’ve had a good understanding of the issues and also sought assistance from other fitters to help resolve my own feet problems (shoe problems really – my feet are fine). The LoreOne is a game changer, offering up the holy grail of both unparalleled comfort and high performance. They also feel completely different compared to anything else I have worn to pedal a bicycle.</p><ul>
<li><strong>Breakthrough #1: Completely Customized to You.</strong> They are designed to fit whatever your foot shape is, not someone else’s idea of what your foot shape is. And my foot shape is at odds with what almost every other shoe designer thinks it should be. The fundamental issue underlying my own foot problems while cycling has been the shape of the shoes. For me, typical cycling shoes put pressure in the wrong places, causing painful “hot feet”.  The LoreOne has completely eliminated those problems. The LoreOne fits like a glove.  This is due to two things: the shoe is built off a scan of the the cyclist’s feet, and then the fit is finessed through the selection and heat molding of pads inside the shoe.  The result is a shoe absolutely form fitted to the feet, with support in the appropriate places so there is no foot slop in the shoe, but nor is there any pressure where it is not needed.  There is a feeling of a very uniform and yet active and positive hold on the foot.</li><li><strong>Breakthrough #2: Energy capture and force transfer</strong>. There are some sophisticated biomechanical explanations for how they capture and transfer energy, but I will keep it simple by describing them as an <strong>exoskeleton for your feet</strong>. In part, they allow for more of the power generated by your large muscles to get to the pedal, and in part, they are capturing more of your ankle articulation and driving that force to the pedal as well. The increased force transfer is particularly noticeable in short accelerations to close a gap or attack out of a group.  While it is very easy to get used to the completely different feel of riding in the LoreOne, what is hard is riding in “normal” cycling shoes again. When doing so there is the profound sense that something is missing.</li></ul><p>Are you a passionate cyclist looking for performance gains; or shoes that fit (and will give performance gains); or are keenly interested in the latest breakthrough technology in the world of cycling?  You can order a pair yourself using a DIY foot scanning method, but the best result will come by ordering and having your foot scanned at a Lore authorized Morphic Scanning Center.

Bike Fitter John Higgins on the "Revolutionary" LoreOne

<h2>The design difference between a barefoot shoe and a custom LoreOne.</h2><p>It’s well established that barefoot style shoes allow for a number of foot health and athletic performance benefits over traditional shoe lasts. Barefoot shoes are generally wider and offer more anatomically shaped toe box designs that impinge less on the natural design and function of the foot. A less constrained design equates to better central nervous system response, as well as better balance and stronger muscular change engagement.&nbsp;</p><p>The problem is that in many barefoot designed shoes, the foot can often swim in a shoe that is too wide for the user which in turn forces a negative nervous system reaction: the body is faced with the problem of trying to find grip both within the shoe AND with the ground itself. This facilitates over-engagement of stabilizer muscles-- an inefficient use of energy and inefficient force transfer. </p><p>Enter the custom nature of the Morphic algorithm and its importance to the evolution of footwear design and performance. The LoreOne’s footbed perfectly cups the perimeter of the user’s foot because it’s built 100% custom. The cupping is gentle, but it’s just enough to engage the lower third of the fat pads around the entire of the foot. The result is the perfect blend of relaxed, natural comfort combined with instantaneous lateral force transfer when the foot moves and tries to drive force into the ground. There is no slop, there is no lag, there is no discomfort to impinge upon circulation and nervous system response. </p><p>Viva la Morphic.</p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/giphy.gif"></p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/img-1408.jpg" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"></p>

Beyond Barefoot

<p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/image-9-.png"></p><p>Perfect fit and athletic performance are inextricably linked. Footwear must enable both perfect balance and force transfer. In my mind, these things are non-negotiable.  If footwear is not custom built around the individual foot with biomechanics in mind, balance and force transfer are inevitably compromised to various degrees. Further, the entry point to a special place in human experience is closed off (more on that lower down).  Serially produced, conventional footwear is always a compromise no matter your foot size and shape. The degree of compromise becomes more and more extreme as one’s feet deviate further and further from the “average” lasts that serially produced shoes are derived from.</p><p>I am obsessed with the fusion between athletes and their equipment. The interest is for lack of a better word, spiritual.  The goal is to have the line between body and equipment blur to the point that mind no longer distinguishes the separating line between the two. When that state of seamless fusion occurs, it’s among the most powerful experiences found living on earth, and therefore should be cultivated. Both selfishly and for the sake of our collective humanity, we should strive to experience this fusion as much as possible. Gear/Body/Mind fusion enables what the zeitgeist currently calls “flow states”.  It’s simple:  if the footwear is uncomfortable or impedes on the body’s ability to efficiently transfer energy, the mind is constantly bothered by that separation during the activity–– “flow” becomes difficult––- the wholesome bliss of unified peak performance is rendered impossible. An ill-fit, serially produced piece of footwear is akin to a fly that is constantly buzzing around your head and landing on your face while eating a meal. You can eat, but it’s hard to enjoy your food. </p><p>I was drawn into this realm of design largely as a result of my own feet.  They are a big, clubish affair that feature a wide forefoot,  a high instep, and a loose fascial structure (meaning that my feet move dynamically with a ton of displacement during athletic activities). You put these monsters in any footwear that was designed to look like an Italian loafer, and the result is massive constricting pressure on the fat pads and the restriction on dynamic pronation which shuts down the nervous system and inhibits balance. This is all very bad. </p><p>So, when we say custom fit, it’s not a glove fit. It’s not about building a plaster cast of the foot and simply mimicking its shape and perimeter. This approach is indeed “custom” but not functionally helpful, because the feet NEED to move within footwear to achieve balance and efficient force transfer. Again the footwear must have both ultimate comfort and force transfer for its user to enter the gates of bliss.  When we say custom, we are talking about creating a structure that is completely relieved where it needs to be (your fat pads, toes, and medial pronation zone), but interacts closely with your foot at “cardinal points”–– a set of fixed locations where we want to cultivate constant interaction between the exoskeleton and the foot for maximal force transfer. Years of tedious work have yielded a highly complex digital “fit algorithm” that balances these two needs in harmony and is scalable to any foot shape and size. </p><p>So, for my foot, in the LoreOne you can see that my first metatarsal bone is snug up against the shell. It’s a cardinal point of energy capture for the transverse load that occurs during the cycling pedal stroke as the foot and shoe comes over the top at 12 o’clock.</p><p>You can also see that my toes are also completely relieved–– they are free to spread under load as force builds from 11-3 o’clock. </p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-04-03-at-3.11.48-pm.png"></p><p>You can see that my fat pads are completely relieved–– allowing them to spread and swell naturally to cultivate comfort, circulation and balance.</p><p>You can see that the plantar  shell has a close tight relationship to the lateral calcaneus and malleolus zone–– again critical for energy transfer that occurs during normal pronation and gait.<img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-04-12-at-12.06.19-pm.png" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"></p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-04-12-at-12.03.23-pm.png"></p><p>Finally, you will notice a perfectly sculpted dorsal roof–– the secret to ground reaction force–– it keeps the sole of my foot perfectly connected to the shoe, which is where the majority of force transfer to the pedal system happens. No other shoe in the world can do this.&nbsp;Fit is performance, Performance is Fit. Both things in balanced harmony open the gates of transcendence.</p><p>Scan and build your <a href="https://lore.cc/product/loreone" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;">LoreOnes</a> today.</p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-04-12-at-12.05.13-pm.png" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"></p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-04-12-at-12.21.02-pm.png"></p>

Power Test: Alex Yokubison

<h2>This simple test offers a plethora of fascinating insights 
into the LoreOne’s superior pedaling efficiency.</h2><p>
	Anyone who has tried the LoreOne notices the immediate difference in power delivery and pedal efficiency versus conventional shoes. It only takes a couple of pedal strokes. The LoreOne captures more biomechanical input from the rider and translates it directly to the pedal resulting in more watts, more speed, less dead spots, and better pedaling technique.&nbsp;</p><p>
	While it's experientially self-evident, we have searched for the best method and protocol to quantify these gains into a scalable test format that athletes can employ and repeat on a home trainer using commonly used power meter pedals and head units. (The Garmin Cycling Dynamics data platform paired with Assioma Duo or Garmin Vector/Rally pedals provide a great platform for collection as well as viewing pedaling efficiency metrics).&nbsp;</p><p>The LoreOne Power Protocol specifies multiple maximal efforts that are averaged to smooth data outliers and fatigue as the intervals progress.&nbsp;</p><p>After trialing different test protocol formats, the most consistent test emerged as a protocol of 6x60sec maximal effort intervals: 3x with the LoreOne and 3x with the tester’s conventional shoes alternating between each pair of shoes and incorporating 15 min rest phases between each effort that include low resistance recovery spinning.&nbsp;</p><p>This simple test offers a plethora of fascinating insights into the LoreOne’s superior pedaling efficiency. For the first 30 seconds of the test, the big takeaway is that the higher the effort, the bigger the advantage the LoreOne imparts to its owner. Generally, the data in the first 15 seconds of these efforts demonstrate significant increases in peak power, the ability to sustain peak power for longer periods, and to create significantly faster acceleration (time to peak watts). Translated to the road + track, we know we will be able to accelerate out of corners faster, sprint faster, create gaps on breakaways, chase breakaways, and dominate track starts.</p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/power-protocol-graphics-google-slides-mozilla-firefox-2023-02-03-at-11.22.01-am.jpeg"></p><h5>Fig. 1 - LoreOne peak watts and acceleration gains.</h5><p>Testing the longer duration aerobic energy system efficiency is hard to do in a home environment–– to achieve anything meaningful would require many long controlled intervals (60 min) spaced too far apart, over too many days, to be scalable for athletes and testers without interrupting normal training. Aerobic efficiency is best tested in a laboratory using metabolic markers like lactate, heart rate and regional muscle oxygenation. Interestingly, the last 45 seconds of the standard 60 sec Lore glycolytic power protocol (after the initial sprint burst is completed), seems to act as a crude proxy for the metabolic efficiency gains seen during longer aerobic efforts. I.e. The gain over conventional shoes is not as large as the often 10-20% improvements seen in the first 15 seconds of max intensity, but equally massive in terms of impact on overall riding performance when hypothetically stretched out over time: generally 4-9%,and sometimes more! These numbers corroborate the experiential feedback from Lore riders who consistently report substantially lower overall perceived exertion when using the LoreOne on longer, primarily aerobic efforts.</p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/image-2023-02-03-at-12.09.20-pm.jpeg"></p><h5>Fig. 2 - LoreOne FTP gains proxy</h5><p>A 7th bonus interval can be added to demonstrate the pedaling efficiency of the LoreOne versus conventional shoes in a head-to-head test where the rider wears a LoreOne on one foot and their conventional shoe on the other. This effort can be a simple, sub-maximal (80%-100% of FTP) 2-5 min interval. The goal is to leverage Garmin’s Cycling Dynamics data to directly highlight the contrast in overall powerphase arc length and early pedal stroke initiation evident in the LoreOne vs. conventional cycling shoes. </p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/image-2023-02-03-at-12.12.38-pm.jpeg"></p><h5>Fig. 3 - LoreOne Power Phase initiation</h5><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/image-2023-02-03-at-12.13.26-pm.jpeg"></p><h5>Fig. 4 - LoreOne Power Phase Termination</h5><p>In summary, this protocol is not the end-all, definitive picture of the LoreOne's magic. Rather, it’s designed to be a scalable and easy to perform test that produces consistent proof-of-life results across a broad group of subjects. After testing a range of athletes, we feel confident that it can offer a meaningful glimpse into the significant efficiency and power transmission improvements that the LoreOne brings to the cyclist or coach looking to maximize overall cycling performance.&nbsp;</p><p>Happy Testing!</p>

Often you can recover from a loss of tracking by moving backwards a few inches to a previously scanned part of the foot.</li><li>-Make sure you are holding the phone at least 8” above the foot and pointing it down–the camera will track better if it is rotating around the foot from above.</li><li>-Check your lighting: scanning works best in a bright, evenly lit space. Shadows or dim lighting both make for challenging scans.</li><li>-Every time you transition to a new surface of the foot–– i.e from the inside to the front/top it’s very important that you go extra slowly and smoothly. The smooth/careful transitions between new surfaces are where great scans are made.</li><li>-Unrecoverable tracking is marked by intense vibration and the image on the screen visibly shaking and distorted. Try going back a few inches or centimeters to where you came from and hold the phone steady to recover tracking.

<p>
	Welcome to the world of the LoreOne.</p><p>
	The LoreOne is more than just a normal shoe; it’s part of your drivetrain and needs to be tuned to individual biomechanics and bike fit to optimize function and performance.</p><p>
	NOTE: when you receive your shoes they are preinstalled with unmolded (thin) pads. If you try your shoes on before molding the pads they will feel tight and overstuffed. Molding reduces pad volume by 20-30% and customizes the pads to your anatomy.</p><p>
	Expect the entire pad molding process to take about one hour and 15 minutes to complete. Attention to detail is important.&nbsp;

<div style="padding:75% 0 0 0;position:relative;">
	<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/821787209?h=a264b24d6b&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" title="LORE_Instructional - Cleats">
	</iframe>
</div><h2 id="fore-aft-cleat-position">1a. Fore/Aft Cleat Position: </h2><p>
	Your cleat holes have been placed to perfectly bisect the longitudinal distance between your unique 1st and 5th metatarsal bones. Most riders are instantly happy here, but please feel free to experiment. While there is a trend in traditional cycling shoes toward more rearward and mid-foot cleat positions, the LoreOne’s CAF produces more engagement via a longer lever arm when cleats are farther forward. If you experiment beyond your nominal custom cleat position, seek to find a balance in your pedal stroke where you feel a gentle firing and pulse of the calf muscles on the downstroke. Too far forward and the calves will become too engaged and fatigue over time. When cleats are too far backwards, the pedal stroke tends to feel wooden and dead as the calf pulse is no longer recruited.</p><h2 style="margin-left: 20px;" id="lateral-medial-cleat-position">1b. Lateral/Medial Cleat position:</h2><p>
	Because the LoreOne has a “pronation pocket” on the medial (inside) aspect of the shoe, the LoreOne is wider in the inside ankle area than conventional shoes. Your cleat holes have been positioned according to your anatomy to balance an optimal foot/pedal relationship while accounting for potential crank interference issues.  However, because this nominal setting is pushed to the limit to encourage optimal foot/pedal alignment, some minor adjustment may be necessary based on each individual rider’s  biomechanics. Do you pedal with your heel in a neutral position or in or out, for example?  If you are experiencing any crank interference issues, please adjust your cleat position farther toward the medial or inside of the shoe to create the necessary clearance. If you are experiencing interference, you may only need 1mm or 2mm of medial cleat adjustment to clear the problem.</p><h1 id="closure-system">2. Closure Systems: How To Put On The LoreOne Properly</h1>
<div style="padding:75% 0 0 0;position:relative;">
	<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/821795813?h=4a20a3f1b7&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" title="LORE_Instructional - Closure System">
	</iframe>
</div><h2 id="atop">2a. Atop Cable tensioning:</h2><p>
	The LoreOne’s closure system features two cable systems plus a PowerStrap to lock the CAF and foot in place relative to one another. Tighter closure settings will increase the energy transfer between your feet and the Carbon AirFrame and create more power transmission to the pedals. You should experiment to find the appropriate balance between comfort and power for your chosen application and riding style. Track and dedicated sprinting efforts will benefit from maximum closures (especially the rear dial and power strap) while long rides with minimal sprinting will demand less closure. Get out and experiment–– watch your power meter and explore how closure tensions impact performance gains and overall comfort.</p><p>
	Generally more tension on the rear dial and strap will equate to more efficient pedaling- as you are able to activate the shoes’ powerful rearward levers. The front dial can be run more lightly, just enough so that you feel constant pressure between the metatarsals (forefoot) and the sole of the shoe.&nbsp;</p><h2 style="margin-left: 20px;" id="powerstrap">2b. PowerStrap:</h2>
<div style="padding:75% 0 0 0;position:relative;">

	</iframe>
	<p>
		For sprinting and maximal efforts use maximum strap tension. For general riding, adjust to max tolerable tension while still maintaining comfort.&nbsp;
	</p>
</div><h1 id="pad-molding">3. Pad Molding General Instructions</h1><p>
	Before molding pads, it’s important to understand a bit more about how the LoreOne works–– how it produces extra efficiency versus conventional shoes. That understanding will help guide the user into determining their optimal pad fit.</p><p>
	First, the LowerOne has 6 pads per shoe:</p><ol>
	<li>1st Metatarsal Pad (4mm and 2mm) 4mm preinstalled </li>	<li>Calcaneus Pad L/R</li>	<li>Lower Medial Pad L/R (x3: Thin,Standard, Thick). Thin preinstalled. </li>	<li>Lower Lateral Pad L/R (x3: Thin,Standard, Thick). Thin preinstalled. </li>	<li>Upper Medial Pad L/R (x3: Thin,Standard, Thick). Thin preinstalled. </li>	<li>Upper Lateral Pad L/R (x3: Thin,Standard, Thick). Thin preinstalled.</li></ol><p>
	The exoskeleton is designed to compress the upper dorsal pad system (Upper and Lower Pads) into the foot.</p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-07-03-at-1.01.15-pm.png"></p><p>
	By doing so, the sole of the foot achieves a tighter relationship with the bottom of the shoe, which in turn generates more ground reaction force through more of the pedal stroke. Similarly, the heel is pushed back closer to the rigid plantar calcaneal region, which in turns leads to an active lever as the foot travels through the backside of the stroke. Lastly, by creating pad compression in the strap area we are also sending energy into the dorsal aspect of the Dorsal section when dorsiflexion at the top of the pedal stroke to generate more power at the top of the stroke.&nbsp;</p><p>
	[IMAGE of Shoe on bike showing all force vectors. ]</p><p>
	The LoreOne relies on adequate compression of the dorsal (topside) of the foot to create a more connected relationship between the foot and exoskeleton.</p><ol>
	<li>Install cleats before molding pads. </li>	<li>Make sure you kick your heel firmly back into the shoe when putting it on before each molding cycle (also for general use). </li>	<li>Tighten down the shoe to 80% of max tension each time you mold it, more than you normally would when riding it–– both dials and strap. </li>	<li>While molding, stand upright in a neutral stance–– only flex your ankle so that there is light pressure against the Upper Pads. </li></ol><h2 id="molding-cycle">3a. How to do a Molding Cycle:</h2><ol>
	<li>Fill Molding Stocking with ~8 cups of  rice. Use plain rice, don’t use flavored varieties or instant rice. </li>	<li>Cook the rice stocking in a microwave; cook times vary for heating the molding sock depending on the power of the  microwave:</li></ol><p style="margin-left: 60px;">
	700-900W=9 min, 1000-1100W=7min, 1200-1250W= 5 min.</p><ol>
	<li>Remove the rice sock from the microwave with gloves because it will be very hot.  Place the sock inside the shoe. Work sock into the shoe to ensure the sock contacts all pads: heel pads and medial metatarsal pad. Use the handle of a screwdriver to push the rice sock into all the pad recessees, especially in the heel section. </li>	<li>Close the shoe tightly on the sock using the dials.  Make sure the sock is tightly in contact against all the pads when you close the shoe. Let the sock heat the pads for 7- 8 minutes. </li>	<li>Remove the sock and place your foot in the shoe. Tighten dials and strap to roughly 80% of max tension. </li>	<li>Stand upright in the shoe for 5 minutes, or until pads are cool.  Do not flex ankles or knees too far forward when standing upright. Stand in a neutral position for molding with only slight forward tension against the upper pads.</li>	<li>Post molding:  remove your foot from the shoe and let it rest for 30 seconds before reinserting the foot into the shoe to test the pad fit on a trainer or outdoors. </li>	<li>When testing multiple pad setups in succession (per the pad tuning protocol described below), reduce your rice bag microwave time to 2-3 minutes or less per pad setup. The rice bag will retain a lot of heat from the first molding and does not need to be excessively heated each time.&nbsp;</li></ol><h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<div style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;">
	<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/821790343?h=d954f2fcc5&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;" title="LORE_Instructional - Molding the Pads">
	</iframe>
</div><h2 id="pad-tuning">3b. The Pad Tuning and Selection Process: </h2><p>
	Start by picking one foot/shoe to work with. Once you go through the pad selection process and the first shoe is dialed in, you will replicate the same pad setup in the second shoe and mold it once for a trial run.</p><ol>
	<li>We are going to work sequentially through the various thickness pads (from thin to thick) to find the optimal Lower Pads for your individual biomechanics and bike fit.  Generally speaking, the thicker the pad setup you can tolerate comfortably, the more energy and power the shoe will transfer to the pedal.  Start with the Thin Lower pads (pre installed in the shoe), mold them, and ride them, and then move onto the Standard and then the Thicker pad using the same process to get a sense of how progressively moving to thicker pads changes the shoe fit and energy transfer characteristics during the pedal stroke.&nbsp; As you move to thicker pads, don’t be concerned about the decreasing level of  engagement between the two shells–– as long as the two shells overlap and “cage” when closed, performance and function are ensured.</li></ol><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-07-20-at-6.37.35-am.png"></p><ol><li>As you progress, if either the Thin or Standard pads are deemed too thick and uncomfortable after molding, there is no need to move onto the Thick Lowers. </li>	<li>Note: the Thin Upper pads will remain in the shoe through the whole Lower Pad fitting process. </li></ol><p>
	Notes:</p><ul><li>The objective for an optimal fit is to slightly overstuff the shoe in the Lower Pad region. We want the dorsal plate to be somewhat difficult to push down, seat, and close onto the lower shell. You should actively push the dorsal plate down onto your foot when tightening the shoe down while tightening the rear dial with your other hand.  Compression and overstuffing ultimately mean better energy transfer and leverage. The trick is to find the right balance of pad thickness that balances overstuffing with pedaling comfort. </li>	<li>You may find that you end up mixing and matching different pad thicknesses between the medial and lateral sides on a given shoe (e.g. Standard Thickness Lower pads matched with Thick Medial pads.) </li>	<li>If you are borderline uncomfortable on a particular pad thickness setup, note that pads will break in and compress further after a few rides.</li></ul><h2 id="upper-pads">3c. Upper Pads:</h2><p>
	Once your Lower Pad thickness configuration is dialed in, it’s time to move through a similar process with the upper pads.</p><p>
	Since the lower pad fitting  process used the Thin configuration of the Upper Pads, you can start the Upper Pad fitting process by trying the Standard Thickness Upper Pads (assuming you the Thin Uppers weren’t causing discomfort during the Lower pad fitting process)</p><p>
	Use  the same process you used to get your Lower Pads setup. Heat, Mold, Test––take note of each side. Are you transmitting power comfortably? If it’s too tight, step down to a thinner pad in that area. If it’s not connected enough, step up to a thicker pad in that particular zone.</p><p>
	With the Upper Pads, it is not uncommon to have a hybrid setup between medial and lateral–– for example a thick Lateral and Standard Medial.&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://store-pqcep6tgku.mybigcommerce.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screen-shot-2023-07-03-at-1.01.38-pm.png"></p><h1 id="adaptation-period">4.&nbsp;Adaptation Period:
</h1><h2 id="footbed">4a. FootBed Adjustment Period:</h2><p>
	When you first try your shoes, you will notice that footbed is relatively hard and that the small textured bumps are stimulating the bottoms of your feet. If you haven’t spend a lot of time barefoot or in barefoot shoes, the first impression may not be “comfortable” in the traditional sense.  Most riders have been in overly padded shoes for the entire lives. Cushy insoles reduce the ability to transfer biomechanical power to the drivetrain and inhibit propreoception and of proper muscle firing sequences.  Be patient. After a few rides, your feet will adjust and the benefits should become readily apparent while opening a new world of sensation and performance.</p><h2 id="muscular-adaptation">4b. Muscular Adaptation Period: </h2><p>
	The LoreOne will transmit power over much more of the pedal stroke than traditional cycling shoes. As a result, new muscle recruitment and firing patterns will result. It is typical to go through an adaptation period during the first few rides.  Please ease into it–– refrain from maximum efforts with big gears until you have given your body and muscle firing patterns a chance to become comfortable with the new pedal stroke. If you don’t ease in, soreness in the hamstrings, adductors and glutes most likely awaits!</p><p>
