Ugh Foot Pain!

[KnottedYet]

Did anything hurt before you raised the saddle?

Did you have less power before you raised the saddle?

Were you getting tired quickly before you raised the saddle?

Did the foot hurt before you raised the saddle?

(did you only raise the saddle because someone else told you to?)

Saddle height has an awful lot to do with hamstring length, and for some folks short hamstrings are strong and powerful hamstrings. Arbitrary height recommendations do not apply to those people, and in fact making them fit a norm for seat height can cause them a world of trouble. By the same criteria, some folks find their power when the hams are in a lengthened position, and lowering their saddle will cause them a world of trouble.

ETA: a good fitter will make note of your hammies' preferred length and fit your bike accordingly.
