Before the surgery, I would modify my running shoes simply by cutting a 3-4 inch slit with a razor blade right where the upper and sole meet, and thereby allowing my foot to ‘splay’ out more. I suppose it’d work on cycling shoes too. Not necessarily what you want to do with expensive shoes…but it worked.
