Hey DD

A friend of OURS told me once that the bottoms of bike shoes are quite stiff and over longer rides can cause compression on nerves and such. She mentioned to wiggle toes while riding to loosen things up.

I am guessing that custom orthotics can help minimize things as well as ensuring proper cleat position over pedals. (so you are pedalling through the right parts of your foot).

Another buddy of mine said that he has had nerve damage in his hands from his solo races, which i guess hasn't fully repaired itself.

Perhaps a good massage to loosen the muscles around the foot and toes would help?

Smile!
