I've been gone awhile. Sorry about that. Life has been pretty busy.

Here's a question I thought you guys could help me with.

I'm sick of getting hot foot while riding and then having my toes feel tender afterwards.

Background -
  • this happens both road and mtb
  • I get hot foot at mile 11 (doesn't matter if it's dirt or pavement / hilly, flat)
  • happens in multiple pairs of shoes - crappy ones and high dollar
  • I've had several pro bike fits
  • I have shims in my cleats
  • I ride Speedplay frogs on my mtb and cross bikes & Speedplay light action on my road bike


I'm not new to the sport by a long shot. I've done 160 mile road races. 6, 12 and 24 hour mountain bike races and race at the Expert level for mtb.

I just did a 6 hour solo mtb race and now I'm tenderfooting around.

It really does feel like I've been clubbing on four inch heels.

I have my first 24 hour solo in a month and I'm starting to really get fed up!

Thoughts? Suggestions?
