    But when I was riding, my left foot started to fall asleep, almost like my shoes were too tight, I bought a pretty pricey pair of shoes, which according to the store are not refundable. But I know that they aren't to tight, b/c I barely pull on the straps to put them on. I know that spinning shoes purpose is so that your feet have better circulation, so now I have to find out what I am doing to make my foot fell like that, my right foot feels perfectly fine! So I guess it is trial and error, going again tonight, so maybe I will try different socks or something! lol
    could be they are too small (which would be a shame if they are not refundable). Keep the laces or straps as loose as possible and wear thin socks. Hope that helps.

    I have plenty of room in them, that is what is weird, my toes aren't even close to the top of the shoe. They were almost loose on me when I tried them on in the store, so maybe I need to wear them around the house and stretch the sides out a little bit or something.. Thanks for the help!

    The position of the clip on the bottom of your shoe may need to be adjusted. Just a thought.

    Sounds weird, but it could be due to the saddle too. All the spin class seats I've seen are overly plush, which can cause blood flow issues to your hands & feet. After you try moving the cleat around, as mentioned, try to get out of the saddle frequently to allow the blood flow to circulate freely. Unfortunately not a lot that can be done to change that... adding a gel cover will only make it worse.
