    Black toes from cycling??

    Anyone ever seen this before? I did a 77 mile ride on Saturday (the MS 150). It was exceptionally hot (the only relevant factor I can think of), and now both of my big toenails are turning black. Toes were slightly sore after the ride on Saturday. I wore sandals on Sunday. From searching and reading the threads about running, are my bike shoes too small? I've been wearing the same pair of Sidis for several years now (and I don't think my feet have grown) - though I do think I've done my longer rides in sandals in past years. Could it be a cleat position issue?

    On one, it's about 2/3 of the nail (bottom up), and the other is 1/3 to 1/2.

    Thanks for any insight.
