My Feet Hurt
After years of cycling in sandals, I decided to try clipless pedals again. I picked Eggbeater Pedals and Shimano MT-20D shoes.
The pedals seem fine but the shoes are killing my feet. Yesterday I had to turn back after 10 miles. The shoes do not seem to disperse the stress from the clips very well. The shoe is comfortable but even when walking I can feel the clip pressing hard against my foot. Did I just pick a bad shoe? No one would ever ride with this level of discomfort. I have used clipless pedals before SPD and Time and did have this much trouble.Should I look for inserts or just find another pair of shoes? The Shoes look very well made. Can anyone recommend a comfortable light mountain shoe?Thanks ... Roland |

Re: My Feet Hurt
After playing with cleat position I can comfortably ride for 20 miles. Still a long way from where I was with scandals and PowerGrips.
I don't expect my feet to hurt at the end of a ride. |

Re: My Feet Hurt
It sounds to me like you have wide feet, and Shimano shoes aren't wide.

Re: My Feet Hurt
I went bike shop trolling and here's hat bike shops say:
1. Shimano is widest of the bike shoes except some megas 2. My foot is narrow but I need a big toe box |

Yesterday I rode in cool weather - I just pulled on a pair of cotton socks over my biking socks and my feet were nice and warm. My upper body froze. Must plan better next time.
