What are the BLUE footbeds?

I have the same issue, for me its the right foot, I clip out with the left foot so this one is clipped in most of the time.

It usually happens at about 60-70 miles into a ride.

I agree with the other posters

3 things to look into

1) not snug enough

2) cleat position

3) need for a different insole


Also if it is extremely hot where you are, trying squirting water on your feet when it starts to occur- sometimes it has to do with heat and bringing down the temp can help relieve some of the pain.

I basically had the same issue with my new, very expensive Shimanos (the ones that get molded). I switched from Sidis because I needed a wider toe box and a a narrow heel. The first ride was so painful, I had to ride without insoles. I promptly went to the Good Feet store and got the blue insoles. It's better, but basically, I have to barely tighten the ratchet and wear the thinnest socks I can find. I still have issues with my left foot, that has a bunion and is the one I clip in/out with.

My gf, who has no bike knowledge, also suggested they might have been too loose (which definitely made sense), so yesterday, I tightened them up real good and rode 60. Still had the same problems. I also tried the SOLE moldable footbeds, wore them for about 2 weeks, put 200-250/week on them, and they hurt like bloody hell so I put the original insole back into the shoes. I'm thinking maybe I need to move the cleat position toward the heel? I don't want to lose too much power. Anyone have any thoughts on moving the cleats back and how that affects power output?
