Default Re: homemeade shims for clipless

casey crumpacke:

I used to make shims for my cleats sometimes out of aluminum and sometimes out of plastic. Don't screw around with this, get some LeWedges.

They are specially designed to eliminate forefoot tilt which is the way most people's feet hang when dangling off the ground. The outside of your foot is probably lower than the inside. When you clip in, you force your feet into unatural positions. You can correct this condition with the shims, and also eliminate leg-length discrepancies as well by reverse stacking them.

Good luck!!!
