Wellm my first day in road shoes and clipless....guess what.....feet were still completely dead! Oh dear!
Does anyone lose the feeling in their feet whilst cycling?

I have found that did work before when you mentioned it, so I will try and remember it before it sets in too far, thank you! Just wish I knew why. At least I couldn't lose the pedals this time, that was horrid before!

Do you reckon it is this whatsit syndrome? I hope not, I don't want to find my toe in the shoe when I take my shoes off!!

If you press a finger into the ball of your foot when the circulation is good, it goes white for a second and then the blood flows quickly back. With Raynauds (when the small blood vessels go into spasm and cut of circulation) it stays white for much longer, or simply goes a nasty bloodless white when it goes numb. (This is much easier for me to see as my fingers do it as well - less hassle than taking off shoes halfway round a trip when your feet are already frozen!) I'm not a medic, so I can't give guarantees, but if this is Raynauds, rather than just pressure/lack of movement affecting your circulation, it sounds fairly mild - if you lost feeling all the time, and in your hands too, you might want to check with a doctor!

Double check your ball of your foot is directly over the middle of the axel. This can cause problems if not spot on - did for me.

OK, I will. That's great, thank you.
