I did when I got my Zero's but I can't say it was the pedals as I got new shoes at the same time. Loosening the strap closest to the toes helped out a ton.

I agree about loosening the strap. If the straps across the top of the foot are too tight, they can cut off circulation. Tighten the strap at the ankle so it holds the shoe snugly on your foot, and keep the other strap(s) adjusted so the shoe fits comfortably but not tight.

thanks for the info I'll try that as soon as possible
