I'm getting extreme pain on the balls of my feet when doing rides greater than 7 hours.
Around six and half hours, the balls of my feet start to split (the skin is literally tearing). I've tried different socks and am using gold bond foot cream religiously. I’m not getting any blisters, but dead center on the ball of each foot, the skin splits in one place. Once the skins splits, it makes riding any additional time/distance excruciating.
I’m positive that my pedal vs. shoe position is good and am having no other types of pain (no real knee nor foot pain like hot spots, etc.) I have a pair of specialized carbon shoes that I am wearing.
Has anyone else had this happen? Any ideas on what I can try to avoid this condition?
Thanks!
