I’e been putting in some decent milage on the weekends lately getting ready for IMAZ and have a question about bike shoes. My shoes seem to cause me to have numb toes and even ache by the end of my 100 mile rides. Do you think they might be too small or something?
Lastly, any suggestions on great cycling shoes from you all?
thanks,
Spencer
What shoes do you have?
I have a wider foot and removed the thin rubber insole from my Shimano shoes - model escapes me - but you know the ones - blue and silver with single black velcro strap
I did this because I too was getting numb toes - removing these insoles did it for me - bought me that extra room and now - I CAN FEEL MY TOES AGAIN!!
Numb toes=no good. I rode 10,000 miles on my first road bike in mountain shoes that were too small. My feet HURT after 3 hours in the saddle. I got a pair of northwaves and all was good. I’m looking into getting the new shimano tri shoes. I tried them on and they feel great! If you have the dough, just go all out and get a custom pair from rocket7. Those shoes are wonderful. $550 is steep, though.
