Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

the-smiling-buddha yeah on longer rides my feet go numb as well as my hands and gentlemans bits
everyone was banging on here about how much they liked the Sidi's
so I got myself a pair

You miss the aspect of SIDIs they bang on about.. "ooh they look cool" doesn't equate to good shoes.

Sounds like you need to work on your postition on the bike.. probably doesn't help riding a track frame but with suitabl;e mods it should be (more) comfortable.
