    Maybe you are pointing your toes down too much when pedaling- that can put a strain on your arch. Pointing toes down is a common thing when biking, and it's not a good habit.

    I do point my toes a bit - habit from lots of gymnastics when young.

    I'll work on that, check for rocks, and check out oakleaf's link. Thanks

    Could it be that you need a cleat adjustment? I need to have my cleats at a weird angle, especially for my right foot, in order to avoid pain when I ride.

    The folks at my LBS put my bike on the indoor trainer and did the adjustment for me.

    Yeah, I made the bf watch me ride today - he says I point my left foot more than I do my right (my right's the one that hurts), and that I hold my right heel in more towards the bike.

    So obviously I'm completely lopsided.
