A friend of mine just switched from old Look pedals/cleats
to Speedplay X-2's. He's using the same shoes as before,
which he says fit great, and he never had a problem with
foot numbness on the Looks.
With the Speedplays, starting about 10 miles into a ride,
he gets numbness in his left foot only, starting on the
outside ball of his foot, and soon spreading into his two
or three small toes. He said loosening his shoes doesn't
help.
I told him it's probably the cleat positioning, although
he said as far as he could tell, his feet are in the same
position as with the Looks.
Rather than adjusting his cleats in a random direction,
having him ride 10 miles & see if it's any better, then
adjusting in a different direction and repeating the
process, I thought I'd check here to see if anybody has
a more specific recommendation based on his symptoms.
Thanks for any info.
