In 1998 I joined the Saturn Cycling team...and Bill Peterson insoles!  After more than 10 years of racing I never had any injuries.
Last year I started running and training for the Ironman.  I hadn't renewed my insoles thinking I didn't need them anymore...MISTAKE!

2 weeks ago I went to Tucson to get fitted again and what a difference.  No more foot pain, no more leg pain!

Thanks Bill you are the best and its true!

“Bill Peterson, C.Ped, is the most important name in cycling whose phone number you should have in your address book, but who you've probably never heard of! Rest assured, though, that the guy who beat you to win the State Championship last year knows Bill and has benefited from his expertise! …”

Gents,
First of all, thank you so much for the cycling orthotics! Best made orthotics of any type I have ever had. They are doing the job of off weighting the sesamoids very nicely indeed ... wonderful!

I have started running again and have shifted to a fore foot strike. It is making my sesamoids sore and I would like to go ahead and order a pair of running orthotics that I will put into a set of Newton Running shoes. It is a shoe designed for fore foot running, with a minimal heel. Are you guys familiar with these shoes? I will need these orthotics to protect the sesamoids on both feet and not compromise the function of the running shoes.

Hi Bill,
I wanted to thank you again for all of your help setting me up with orthotics. I wore the casual orthotics for 3-days straight working the El Tour Expo, and my feet felt great. They work really well!

I have also written a blog post over at Missing Saddle that I wanted to share with you:

I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving, and I hope you enjoy the holidays. Thanks again for all of your help. The bike adjustments and orthotics have made a huge difference for my riding and overall well-being.

Cheers, Melanie Meyers

Bill:

Thanks for the footbeds and the fitting you did at TT1 training camp. I can't tell you what a difference it made. Took a few rides to get used to the feel of the footbeds and awhile longer to undo years of riding out of alignment, but it has been awesome.

I'm the faculty advisor for the Brown Cycling Team and we have a lot of dirt poor college racers who could really use a hand getting fitted and orthotics. Any chance of doing a team fitting and possible a discount/sponsorship? They're great kids and really demonstrate the ideal of student athletes. You would not believe the converstaions we have during group rides. How 19 year olds know as much as they do is beyond me. Also they are a great way of getting the word out to the providence community about foot fitness.

Bill Peterson's insoles will improve your riding, Period.
I've agonizingly used the same pair of semi-custom insoles for the past half dozen years, but I only recently realized that I had been suffering through them for their entire life. It took so long for me to discover this because I had grown accustomed to my continual pain. Even though I thought I was doing myself a favor with at least a semi-custom heat molded insole, I was numb to a wide range of problems ranging from hot feet to painful toes to sore arches.

I noticed the benefits from Bill's orthotics the moment I rode my bike home from Foot Fitness. Not only did the foot pain I had before vanish, but more importantly I feel significantly more stable and powerful with the new orthotics. I used to think comfortable cycling shoes was a novel concept, but with Bill’s help in Tucson and Missy D’Alessandro at the Rhode Island Foot Fitness, this is a daily reality.

I just got my orthotics a couple days ago and he's not lying. Took a little while to get used to. Plus he put a 6mm shim on my left cleat that made a huge difference. That guy is a genius. Do you have his email? I wanted to thank him.

Bill,

I received the orthotics this week.   I road with my old shoes and peddals on the computrainer last night; but I put them in my Sidi's and put my Keo's on the trainer tonight and man what a difference.   They will take some getting used to, so I am not going to use them on the 133 mile ride on Saturday, as much as I want to.   I had better ease into it.

My output on WATTS was near double what it has been.   I would always wonder what it would take to increase my watts and man this is part of it.   I kid you not, they doubled and I was riding relatively easy tonight.   Especially on the standing climb but even when I was seated.     Just crazy!!!

The position of my cleats has felt fine since the guy at Echelon set them.   No more knee pain or hip pain.

Thanks again so much.

Bill,
Hope you had a relaxing Thanksgiving and are getting some rides in as well. Just wanted to let you know the casual insoles are pretty amazing. I was on my feet the whole El Tour Expo (9-11 hours a day) and my feet never hurt at all. Pretty amazing. Melanie is loving hers as well. I'm starting to ride again so I can try out those new cycling insoles you gave me.
Thanks for all your help and expertise,
Kyle

Hi Lana,

I wanted to take a few moments of your time and say THANK YOU for your time and effort in helping me with my foot problems. Though it may not seem important I just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with your examination. Please share this with your organization. If there is anything I can do or say to spread the word of your company rest assured it will be done. My sincere thanks.
