Numb and Tingling feet.

[Jaquesdp]

Hi guys..

 

Im sure most of us has experianced it before..

 

At around 20-30km my left Foot starts getting numb on the ball off the feet and slightly burning and pins and needles..

 

Im sure its a nerv but can say if it in my posture of riding..

 

Any info regarding fixes ?

 

Thanks

Which discipline MTB or Road? And what pedals do you use? And are your shoes a proper fit?

[Rick Sanchez]

Most probably a cleat setup/shoe issue. Go get a good cleat setup done by a bike fitter

Mountain Bike (sorry)

Shimano PDm520

Bora size 9 

 

Did a bike Fit by a Approved guy..

 

But not for shoes and cleats did that myself.. might be something to look into.. thanks

Shimano XT M8020 Trail maybe these will help

Maybe your cleats are to far forward.

Changing pedals won't help. Trust me it's a cleat set up issue.

Try this

 

Good starting point, otherwise go see someone who can do a decent setup.

You must do a bike fit WITH shoes. The ''approved'' guy doesn't sound very approved if he did not tell you to bring your shoes 

I had a similar issue with pins and needles but that was just down to a slightly small shoe and tightening the BOA too much.

I had the same problem. 

 

Went from shoes and flats to spds and wide mtb shoes. 

 

fixed the problem for me. The ryder Bora is the old olympics that seems like a wide shoe.... 

 

So get the setup done first, and if that does not work, try n different shoe. I ride with Giros at this stage

thanks guys will try moving cleats a bit

Had something similar happen to me. Realised I tightened my shoes too much, so as your feet swell from the heat they start going numb.

How do you find the bora shoes? Ive been eyeing them. I like the look of the bora2

Makes sense!! 

Easiest and cheapest solution

8/10 times shoes that are over tightened.

 

Good luck
