Cycling Shoe Shim Kit Varus/Valgus

Cycling Shoe Shim Kit Varus/Valgus

I have a strong suspicion I need a Varus shim for my left foot as my knee moves inwards on the pedal stroke. A large bike manufacturer has one available for 15 € + shipping, but that would take forever these days, so I used it as an inspiration to model my own. I uploaded the 2D svg as well as the OpenSCAD file I used to create the angled surface. I only provided the Varus version (big toe higher than others), feel free to customize to your needs (Varus/Valgus), shoe size or different angle. The inward side is the one with less holes. Scale the width to whatever your insole's forefoot width is, I have a size 45 Shimano shoe and it was 94mm wide, so this is what it is scaled to. Recommended print settings: 0.1mm layer height to keep it smooth, 100% infill to prevent collaps. Print it face down, so the insole touches the smooth, print-surface facing side to prevent tearing. I recommend printing it in TPU, but made an initial prototype with ABS that seems to work well enough so far.
