Shoes
Is there a break-in period for the clipless shoes? My feet are hurting.
 Or has anyone found the need to buy arch supports? |

Do they fit you? Are your feet too wide? If not then just suck it up till you have blisters and grow a callous thick skin and then you wont have to worrry about it anymore. Either way you are going to have to suffer a bit to break them in. No arch support for me it would interfere with my stroke. |

Not blisters. I don't get blisters but the pain is more of an aching pain in my feet. But before I'm told to suck it up and act like a man i'll guess that i'm going to experience pain in my feet regardless of the shoe type.  Thanks for the reply. |

If your shoes fit properly then your feet shouldn't hurt. You may find that the shoes you bought aren't a great fit for your particular feet. Also check your shoe positioning over the pedal - the ball of your foot should be directly over, or a fraction in front of, the pedal spindle.
Try the arch supports, they may help. But if your feet are still hurting after a few more rides check out some other shoes... |

i found that some of the more expensive shoes are made so thin to keep off extra weight, that it compromised all comfort. i first looked for comfort, the nice cushion in the soles. that made all the difference for my foot pain. very comfortable shoes. i got cheap from performance bike shop.
