Long Wheel Base Posted September 11, 2018 Share 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.I constantly have to loosen my shoes during a race especially. Thank goodness for boa dial.

Nibali Posted September 11, 2018 Share 8/10 times shoes that are over tightened. Good luck Took me a while, was happy when that penny dropped... I constantly have to loosen my shoes during a race especially. Thank goodness for boa dial. I have boa dials on my mtb shoes, ratchet on road shoes. If I feel my feet going numb on the roadie I know I'm in trouble, can't manage to loosen the ratchet on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted September 12, 2018 Share Here's quite a good read about the matter:https://www.livestrong.com/article/387684-foot-numbness-and-cycling/Good article that????I have suffered this issue on both feet for as long as I have been cycling (28 years +/-) The only solution for me was to move my cleats as far back as possible and then another 12 mm further back. To allow the extra 12mm I modify my shoes by elongating the cleat attachment holes. I also have custom orthotics which have a metatarsal bar to take pressure off my metatarsals.

Ja, I never had a big problem with numbness in my feet in the past. Lately, my left foot gets hit the hardest with numbness when I cycle more than X amount of km's.

Lately, my left foot gets hit the hardest with numbness when I cycle more than X amount of km's.It’s a pain in the ass having these “dropped metatarsals” , hopefully your and the op numbness are something more simple to solve.
