FAQ Feet hurt toes numb
Minor foot problems can quickly become major problems so it is important to pay attention when problems come up down there. The first and most common cause is if you are wearing casual shoes instead of cycling shoes. Where casual shoes tend to be flexible intended for walking and running a cycling shoe is very stiff providing an efficient pedaling platform. For more imformation regarding Cycling Shoes Click Here.
If you are already using cycling shoes and are experiancing foot pain the first place to look is at overall shoe fit. Cycling shoes should fit very snug from the toe box back to the heel. If your shoe is to big you may be forced to compensate by over tightening the shoes strap restricting circulation. If this seems like it might be the case just try loosening your straps a bit.
Insoles can present problems to cyclist and many shoe companies provide insoles that do very little to support your feet. Proper arch support is something many of us are aware of, but the often overlooked issue is proper metatarsal support. Almost any problem with your toes and the front of your foot could be caused by improper metatarsal support. This is definitely an issue best dealt with here at CYCLEWERX.
