Louis for real Posted November 11, 2020 Share This happens to me when my laces are tied too tight. Especially the top at the tie/knot area.Something else that also helped-for me at least- i tilted my saddle ever so slightly down at the nose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted November 11, 2020 Share Guys, if any of you end up getting numb feet please post, this is an on going dam issue i am having. I have heard guys who changed from five tens to 2fo's stopped getting it.5.10 to RC and i’m still getting numb toes. I’m starting to give up and just accept it.

I was wondering if this might have an impact on this. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spafsack Posted November 23, 2020 Share I am on my brand new pair of five tens [imported] still numb toes, decided to do a 25 kay ride this morning with normal tekkies, no numb toes. I think my feet are a tad to wide for these five tens as i did feel that my small toes are being pressed in but with normal tekkies not at all. Someone mentioned those spaz 2fo shoes were much much better than anything else he tried, no more issues. I was thinking of RC's but if my feet are wide i cant afford the same issues.

I’ll try it without laces done up tight. Right now they are fairly loose. I will add though. It is getting better as the shoes get older. Myne one of those old school shoe stretchers could help.

Spafsack Posted November 23, 2020 Share I did try that as well, makes a small difference. I can feel my pinky toes being slightly squished once fitted, laces out, laces in, same thing, it just is what it is, my dam wide feet. Not sure if the 2fo's are broader, or maybe i must just give up and go back to clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebob Posted November 23, 2020 Share Used to get numb toes with 5.10 Freerider Pros. Loosened the laces all the way down the shoe and then tensioned them all equally. Numb foot syndrome no more! Just note I had to upsize from a size US 9 to a size US 9.5 to get the correct length or my toes would be squashed. To get the size pot on I put some Dischem foam innersoles under the 5.10 ones and everything is good Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myne one of those old school shoe stretchers could help.I have high foot arches and almost anything I buy off the shelf gives me numb outer toes on the bike. I Need more support Under my foot. If you have a pair of shoes with lighter soles that are lekker worn in...have a look inside or take the inner out. Compare to below. If it looks anything between high and normal you probably need more support inside your shoe under your arch. My right foot is even worse than that ‘high’ pic...it has a clean break between the heel and toes. Most shoes come stock standard with “platvoet” inners. I know for a fact the spaz ones do because i’m using the greens inside my clipless spaz shoes and thats two levels up from stock. (They come in stock(black or red aftermarket), blue(med), green(high). Edited November 23, 2020 by morneS555 MBMtbGirl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
