I wear a pair of Sidi Genius Megas (the wide version) for riding and can ride all day with little to no discomfort from the nerve.
Thanks to all for the information. My podiatrist told me that conservative treatment solves the problem 75-80% of the time, and surgery is the next option. I think the orthotics will definitely help. I have the Sidi Genius 6.6 Carbon Women’s - they fit great & are not the cause of the problem. I think some people are predisposed to this - the computerized orthotic scan showed I put a lot of weight on the balls of my feet when I walk, and lost the fat pads on my soles.
