<p>I thought this was posted in the past but couldn't find an answer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>During the ironman bike ride I did late June, I started to develop some sore toe issues on both feet. The pain starts underneath the toe and seems to travel down towards the ball of my feet. I've worn the same cycling shoes since 07 and I've had this experience to a lesser degree on longer rides. It only happens when I get past 60 miles or so. During the run, it was a little painful in the beginning but I was able to shake it off after about a mile, then the pain never returned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought maybe because I road sockless this is why my feet hurt, so the next weekend I went for a 4.75 hr ride, pretty hard with my favorite socks. I road much harder than I did during the ironman, very hard, and my toes were killing me after 60 miles. Very painful in fact. I could not run at all afterwards...... Sooo both of those days it was hot, I thought my feet were expanding and got too big for my shoes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sooo I got some nice new shoes, a 1/2 size bigger. Lots of room. Last weekend I did a 4 hour ride, very hard, toes again started hurting after 3/4 of the ride. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone have an idea of what the heck is going on? Should I adjust the cleat position? I think the guy at the shop adjusted my cleats when he did a fit, maybe after 3+ hours of pounding away, my toe gets sore? I'm not pedaling efficient enough? arghhhh! Any advice would be appreciated.</p>
