neuroma &wide shoes

[KnottedYet]

Me, too. I do quite well in men's Specialized Taho shoes, with Superfeet insoles and a metatarsal button on the Superfeet. (both Superfeet, even though I only have a neuroma on the left)

I have very narrow heels, and they stay in place in the Tahos.

Edit: I think I paid $65 or $70 for my Tahos.

I've wear a women's size 10 4E width, with very high volume foot and high arches. I am quite comfortable in my size 43 Sidis, in Mega width. I've got superfeet insoles in them for now, but have been contemplating custom orthotics.

Belita - I have Sidi Dominator's in a Mega 40 size. I absolutely love them. I also have custom black Superfeet in mine. I did have neuroma surgery years ago. It was a very easy recovery. I hated the pain from the neuroma. It would kick in way too early on a long ride.

I have a wicked Morton's Neuroma. I'm considering surgery because cortizone injections and alcohol injections never have a lasting effect. The thing is, that for me cycling has never bothered it! Maybe my cleats are far enough back or something. It doesn't seem that I put any weight on the spot where I get the neuroma pain.

My husband had the surgery about 6 years ago. He is so thankful he did! It didn't bother him cycling, but he could barely walk. The recovery was not so bad and he did the cycling part of a pentathalon about 3 months after the surgery.

Thanks for this topic all;

I am finally pedaling for real since my stroke and need to get new shoes because my leg brace will not fit into my current pair of Sidi's. I will investigate the Specialized mens a little more closely. I use mtn. shoes because with my poor walking ability I would kill myself with carbon shoes!


cheers,
