Pins and needles in my feet?

[looker]

Just started riding and I am getting pins and needles in my feet? any idea why?

Shoes too tight? Soles too flexy? Cleats in wrong place?

Probably your back. Tell us what you know about bike setup and your position on the bike.

Using normal pedals and trainers

Using normal pedals and trainers

Get some walking type or trail shoes. Normal trainers are too flexy.
Also in warm weather wear thin socks as your feet will swell and shoes become tighter.
How soon do the pins and needoes start?

Why would his/her back be the most likely cause of pins and needles in feet?

Shoes. You also probably have the pedal in the middle of your foot - you need the shoe where your ball of your foot is over the pedal axel.

Certainly some stiffer shoes.
