I run SPD-SLs on my road bike, with Shimano shoes (can't remember what they are, but fairly cheap ~ £40 road shoes). These are my first clipless pedals, and I have problems with numb toes and balls of the feet. Having moved the cleats back, the numbness and pain is a little better, but still not great after a 30 or 40 mile ride. I'm not sure whether to try some different shoes (possible they aren't quite wide enough) or switch to a different system which allows the cleats to be further back. Any suggestions?
