any way to keep my feet from swelling?
I want to do a century in July and I know it's going to be hot. Whenever it's hot my feet swell and one or the other becomes very painful on the bottom. My shoes fit fine, not tight, and even when I loosen them it makes no diff. The pain is on the balls of my feet, makes me want to stop, take off my shoes and socks and soak my feet in a cold creek.
Is there any strategy, short or long-term, that would ease this? I am tall, have low blood pressure and blood does tend to pool in my legs.
