I thought the general rule was cleats as far back as possible? To the point that a lot of shoes don’t go far back enough.
Is your foot thing Morton’s Neuroma?
Alf0nse-
Sounds like maybe mortons neuroma.
@apc the tighter your shoes and the more your feet swell the more compression would be put on a mortons neuroma.
Wide shoes and something soft like a metatarsal pad may help.
Thankshallots
Have been getting foot pain in my right foot for quite some time 18months or so. To the point where Ive basically given up cycling.
I have spend close to a grand on bike fitting (forum recommended) and physio/podiatrist appointments with no joy and finally also had a NHS podiatrist appointment but they were not particularly fussed as I don't get the pain when walking and sent me on my way with my third set of insoles.
Essentially I get a lot of pressure just behind the ball of my foot, its fairly uncomfortable, not overly painful and goes as soon as I stop cycling. It constantly feels like I need to pull my feet backwards to get more over the cleat. Thats the best way I can describe it.
I have tried every cleat position possible - but even with the cleats all the way forward I still feel like my foot needs to come back to be over them more.
Anyone else experienced anything similar? I feel like it could be arch needing support and putting excess pressure on the foot but I have already been fitted with insoles by 2 people - 1 custom.
It is much worse when cycling uphill/putting down more force.
