Hello again, yes, yet another problem. I have searched the forum about numb toes / hot feet and really I'm at a loss as to what to try because : I only had very slight numb toes - the two outer ones on each foot - when I first started riding and waering my running sneakers. I thought if I bought proper biking shoes that the mild numbness would go away but guess what ........... it got a 100 times worse! go figure. Because it got worse, I'm thinking it's the shoes. they are Specialised and cost me $80. I know it's a not a lot compared to what's out there but it's still quite a bit to pay for numb toes and hot feet don't you think? Any ideas anyone? They are really comfortable too so I was really bummed when it started. Do you think it will ease off as I get used to the shoes or is something else going on ?
The only other thing I can think of is - I did ride for longer in higher resisance grears (not sure if that's considered a high or low gear ) - ie. the larger cogs. From what I've been reading it seems I'm supposed to ride 'lighter and faster' rather than 'harder and slower' ? is that right?
Any advice is VERY much appreciated, thanks in advance
