COBRA9 Pro

InnerCore

The Carbon fibre inner core is the key to the stability and support that the Cobra9 Pro is able to offer while remaining incredibly light. The inner core is uniquley designed for each athlete with a combination of mono directional and twill fibre to ensure strength but with much needed flexibility. This ensures comfort and support for the rider. Each pair are custom layered to ensure we have just the right level of stiffness for each client.

Due to the customised process fabricating this product, we can widen or taper the InnerCore to match more irregular foot profiles.

Cycle Profile

The carbon fibre we use to create the Cobra9 Pro allows us to drastically reduce the space that the insole requires to provide the appropriate support while cycling. The result is a light weight, unobtrusive innersole – a Size 43 Cobra9 Pro footbed weighs in around 30 grams.

Outer Casing

The Cobra9 Pro’s standard dual density outer casing is comprised of a firm hard wearing bottom layer and a softer, more pliant upper layer for improved comfort on those rough highway roads. The custom made to order dual density EVA foam provides a comfortable top cover which minimises weight and allows for further foot contouring with regular wear.

The top cover is hard wearing and easy to wash. As this is a fully customised product, we can make covers with different widths, densities and profiles to reduce load to pressure points as required. This is a bespoke item. We make it how you need it!

Casting Process

We use a semi weight bearing casting process to ensure that the casting profile relates appropriately to the shape of the foot under cycling load. We need this type of cast to ensure we can be as accurate as possible in getting your feet comfortable in your shoes.

Podiatrist Fabricated Guarantee

All of our Cobra9 Pro devices are hand finished and prepared by the Principle Podiatrist of Cobra9. We don’t outsource our orthotics to labs or untrained technicians. All Cobra9 Pros come with a guarantee of quality meaning the Pro is ready to roll. If you aren’t happy, neither are we!

Find Your Fit

As podiatrists, we are no strangers to the intricacies of foot form and function. That's why we developed a range of unique profiles for our much-loved SemiPros. Rather than arbitrary changes in height across our Low, Medium and High inner soles, each profile has a unique contoured shape to suit key features of the foot type for which they are designed.

This three-step guide is designed to help you select your perfect profile.

Step 1: Arch Profile Observation

Begin by observing the static, non-weight bearing shape of your feet:

Observe the medial aspect of your foot (from your heel to big toe) while seated with your ankle in a neutral position and your feet flat on the floor. Because this is a non-weight bearing observation, this should be carried out with minimal and equal weight distribution.

Step 2: Mobility Evaluation

Second, evaluate the degree of mobility present in your midfoot to determine how your feet change shape when they are loaded.

Perform a series of calf raises, comparing how pronounced your medial arch shape is at the beginning and end of each raise. Typically, a more mobile foot will display a pronounced shape at the end of the calf raise movement. Less mobile feet will see little shape change.

Step 3: Size, Width and Volume Selection

Use our downloadable sizing guide to match your current inner sole with your chosen SemiPro:

Standard

Wide

You can choose a Standard or Thin backing option at checkout to maintain or increase the space in your shoes. Simply measure the thickness of your current inner sole and select accordingly.
