Arch supports in cycling shoes?
I'm not saying my Podiatrist doesn't know what he is talking about, but I really think I need some arch supports in my spinning and cycling shoes. NONE of this started until I started cycling and spinning. I know when I'm out of the saddle and climbing and doing jumps I can feel it in my arch!! He doesn't think that's possible, but I swear guys, I feel it. So today I took out my inserts in my old running shoes and put them in my spinning shoes and I could feel the support there.
Anyway, was just wondering if anybody had heard about that, I'm REALLY trying to avoid the cortisone injection, but now my other foot is starting to hurt.:(
I had an arch problem and tried these:
These have helped me immensely and this is my first year riding:
www.superfeet.com - the grey insoles for riding.
They have a demo on the site about what your feet do on the spin in your shoes and how their insoles help.
The other thing that has helped greatly is to put a bottle of water in the freezer - just a regular bottle like you'd buy at the grocery store - and take it out after rides and roll my arches and heel over the bottle for about 10-15 minutes per foot. Ahhhhhh - feels great.
My mom's podiatrist gave her this tip and I hogged it.
Hope this helps. Be sure to stretch your feet good both before and after the ride.
