Someone in the main forum posted about having foot burn (on the ball of his foot). I chimed in but too asking a question but the posting flew by due to the incredible speed at which threads move there. So here we go...
Prior to 2003 IMCDA I never had foot pain while riding my bike. During the race that day (on the bike) my toes felt as if they were ON FIRE. My guess was that it was the 'foot burn' I've heard other people talking about, just in a different place. Since then its only gotten worse (when I ride) and now happens during every ride. I know that i need knew shoes (bigger) because my foot has gotten wider since having my girls, but outside of that does anyone have any experience with this? I can't figure out how to make it stop. Basically the pain (BURN) comes on about 15 miles into any ride I have and stays. I ride through the serious uncomfortablness of the pain but it sucks. It's gotten to the point now that I'm constantly wiggling my toes, standing up, adjusting anything and everything I can to alleviate the burn (which totally distracts my ride).
I'm not sure what to do and my hubby (cyclist for a gazillion years) has no idea beyond "buy new shoes".
