I have a pair of Bontrager shoes, and have had them for about eight months. Having tried them on in the shop, they fitted fine and felt good. However, after about 25mins riding I get a real hotspot / pain on the outside of my right foot. I have tried a bit of fiddling with cleat position and strap tightness but to no avail. I am beginning to resign myself to just having to buy a different pair of shoes. I don't suffer from it on my Sidi road shoes, so am thinking I'll get a pair of dominators.
Before I do though, can anyone offer any possible solutions? Or do I need to HTFU and get over the fact that the Bontrager last isn't any good for my feet? Is there any way of predicting when trying on shoes?
Advice welcome
Thanks
