Foot Pain after ride

[FetterSteve]

I said in an earlier post that I had no pains after my first 20 mile ride but I forgot about my sore foot. When I got off the bike I could hardly walk due to pain in the outside edge of my right foot. It soon subsided and seems to have gone completely but had me a bit worried.

My initial thoughts were that perhaps my foot was being kept in a bad position by my SPD's and my pedaling style had cause the pain.

Anybody had anything similar or know of a solution?

I have had the same thing for 20+ years and have never got it sorted, tried pedals, cleats, shoes, physio. chiropractor, osteopath, doctor and the list goes on. Changing seat height and making sure I let my ankle drop on each pedal stroke helps. On to of all this the wife is a Chiropodist and even they have no answer. It is something I have learned to live with.

I got that from a pair of cycling shoes that were too tight on one foot (slightly wider than the other foot?).

Do you layer up on the socks or wear really thick ones?

To expand from Colin's post I would agree that being constricted wont make riding comfortable in the long term, I would check out your sizing again in case.

I did have 2 pairs of socks on as I find that my Sealskinz are not very warm so I wore a thin pair under them. I 'll try without and see if it helps.

Thanks
