    Yuppers - and don't keep your feet so static, curl and flex the toes inside the shoes to keep the blood flowing in there. I've also noticed my feet can go numb when I'm climbing which means I'm "mashing" instead of spinning and pushing down way too hard on the clips. On long rides, I'll take my shoes off during my rest stops and walk around barefoot (or sockfoot).
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    It's the middle toe-zone of my left foot, too. I wear Keen's, cuz they don't squish on my neuroma. A pair of Spectrum Stabilizers (much like Superfeet) keep me from collapsing onto the inside of my foot and thereby jamming the outside of my foot over into the edge of the shoe (squish the neuroma again!) For a looooong time I biked in Birkenstocks because they were the only shoes I could tolerate. Your forefoot splays out a good bit when you are weightbearing on the ball of your foot on the pedal, so make sure the toebox is very roomy.

    I love Brooks Ariels and Addictions, and Chaco sandals. I'm very picky about shoes.
