New shoes and numb toes

Recommended Posts

Got a new pair of shoes and it's numbing my left middle toe. I'm a newbie so first time with cleat shoes and went out riding for 19km. Is my shoes too tight or shoes just needs to wear in?

Might be your cleat placement causing the issue. You should be able to find a guide to proper cleat placement on the net.

Most likely too tight. Just loosen a little and see how it goes. If it still goes numb, then check for cleat placement.

did go to get my shoes fitted so cleat position should be ok.  Will loosen up abit and see how it goes on the next ride.

Loosen them more when you are about 20min into your ride as feet tend to swell, so even if they are lose when you start riding then might not be a bit later..

Also, how thick are your socks?

I got foot cramp / pain issues when I got new shoes, even with them done up very loosely.  Got a pair of thinner socks and the problem was gone.
