Adaptive-shaping insoles for any brand or model shoe, without the custom price tag
The Adapt V2 Insole exists because everyone's foot is different. They feature carbon arches and metatarsal pads that you optimize in position, using our simple tuning table. They offer an upgraded level of foot support, without costly bike fitting or shaping procedures. There also crazy light - at just 58g for size M, they weigh half as much as many molded insoles.
Every sportsperson benefits from shoes that fit better from underneath the foot. A customized Adapt insole gives a firmer, more comfortable connection to the bike, with an improved riding feel and reduced foot fatigue. They can also mitigate hot, painful or tingling zones under on your feet, while stabilizing your ankle, knee, hip and back.
Both Cyclingtips and GCN have seen them, and liked what they saw.
YOUR SHOES SHOULD FIT YOU, NOT YOU THEM.
The A1 shoe offer a custom-shoe fit, right off the shelf. Lintaman shoes offer an enveloping mecanical closure that holds your foot from every direction.
A Lintaman shoe fit isn't just snug - it works like a shrink wrap, firmly and gently wrapping your foot from behind, above, the sides. This closure concept shapes and secures the shoe to your foot. The result is improved comfort, retention and stability compared to classic closures that try to hold your foot in a shoe by (only) tightening over the top of your foot.
If you're out to hunting PR's or racing, you'll discover the comfiest solid fit out there. On recovery rides and touring, the same shoes will offer you the most stable gentle fit you've ever experienced.

Top quality and innovation.
No joke: "We're big in Japan" - and a few other markets. Was that song actually about us? No. clearly not.... Nontheless, we've decided its time for everyone else to learn our name, Lintaman: where off-the-shelf value meets an off-the-charts quality of fit.
Our brand started when our founder; a retired pro cyclist who worked in manufacturing and quality for many years for a large house of cycling brands, decided to solve the issue he experienced his whole racing career: Shoes that are Good, but not quite right.
We started by making white label top-quality shoes for multiple brands, which we've been doing for over a decade. One or two of you might already be riding shoes we made. And without a doubt, you've seen them on the feet of the pro's in the biggest races on the calendar - and their podiums.
We're proud of the racing wins and many positive reviews these white label products recieved from cycling's leading global media. If you look for it, you'll also find Lintaman brand coverage from Pez Cycling News, BikeRumor, and more, hidden in plain view.
How the Lintaman fit works
Shoe Zone 1 - Heel (shoe length from heel)
Introducing an exceptionally snug, heel-to-toe fit. Lintaman shoes use an exclusive heel box dial that pulls the shoe to the right position around your foot from behind, for an anchored, solid connection to your bike. This is an additional dimension of fit over classic shoes, that can only push your foot downward into the shoe from the top (our zone 2).
The heel dial and tongue allow you to tune both the length of the shoe and the angle of the tongue's heel cup for your exact performance and comfort needs.
Shoe Zone 2 - Instep (top of foot)
(2 dial shoes currently out of production due to supply isues) Once you have set the length of the shoe, you can then tighten the instep dial for a snug fit, just as you would with any other shoe you own. On single dial shoes, the cable that secures Zone 1 also webs into Zone 2, tightening both with one dial.
Our shoes' flexible construction will fit any foot shape closeley for a comfortable, performance fit. You can adapt the cable routing in Zone 2 to account for the exact shape of your foot and your preferred shoe fit/feel.
Shoe Zone 3 - Toe box (front shape, on 3 dial shoes)
(3 dial shoes currently out of production due to supply isues) On 3 dial shoes you can now optimize the fit and shape of the toe box, through mutiple cable routing options and a dedicated toe box dial. Multiple cable guides allow shape customization for any forefoot width and shape.
Our 1 and 2 dial shoes use a form-fitting toe box material to give a similar fit and feel.
Shoebed Zone 4 - Insole (Optional upgrade)
For those looking for the ultimate shrink-wrap fit, Lintaman offers adjustable, lightweight carbon arch insoles as a standalone upgrade.
They offer a featherweight boost to your performance and fit, at just 58g for a size M. S1 insoles insoles can be used on any shoe, not just our own brand.
A massive fit range - and programs for those that go beyond it
Sometimes a foot's width-to-length ratio goes beyond the bounds of what even our shoes can handle. Or left/right foot sizing imbalance exceeds our already broad range.
For those people, we have great news: we offer mismatch pairs and custom built variants of our production shoes for a very reasonable fee. Still havent found your fit? It's time to go Lintaman!
