Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

foot pain

Hi, as I have stepped up my riding this year I come across a few issues. I went and got a very good bike fit and that fixed all but a problem i'm getting with my big toe pain , it's on the pad (bottom) of the toe , and only bothers me after 50-60 miles on the bike.
At one time I had wedges between my cleats and shoes but when I got new cleats I didn't re install them and according to the bike fitter I didn't need them .. There is plenty of room in the toe box section of my shoes (Sidi).
Any ideas would be very much appreciated..

I use the Specialized inserts with the metatarsal button. Solves the issue.

I found that I was wearing my shoes (Shimano SPD) too tight. Once I started wearing them loose alot of the "hot foot" kind of pain went away.
