Foot Pain

[AlanD]

Hi All,

 

Lately ive been getting some pain on my right foot that seems to come after a ride. There is no pain while riding or immediately thereafter but then cames later on and then stays for a good few days.

 

Its the Arch of the foot, the underside portion that gets the pain. It is my strongest leg/foot so presumably im using it more on my rides.

 

Could it be that the flat shoes are not offering enough arch support that is causing this? Im thinkingof trying some better supporting inner soles, any recommendations?

 

Thanks

you should try something like this it really helped my wife with the same issue (maybe not medically but pains under her foot after riding in unsupported cycle shoes )

Had a road bike set-up done and ... to move my knees outward, they inserted a pair of Spez foot bed inserts. Works really well and feels very comfy. But ... I don't have the same in my MTB shoes, so when riding MTB for a while and then go back to road, I also have this soreness in my feet. My case both though.

 

So ... maybe "bikebloke"s advice above could be helpful to your problem.

 

Only problem is if you go trial and error it might work or take you on a wild goose chase. Maybe go see a set up specialist or someone similar for professional advice on cause and effect.
