Just recently I have started to get sore feet on my bike rides, on the tops of both feet on the insides just before the big toe. It visibly goes and stays red, but does not bruise, and is tender to the touch.
I am using the same pedals, shoes and position on the bike. They are SPD pedals/cleats/shoes. The only real difference is I have been increasing speed a bit on my short rides.
I think I may have got into a bad habit of pulling up too much with my feet and putting less force on the pedal using the ball of my foot.
Anybody else experience this? Could I benefit from tighter shoes, these are a 46 and I wear a normal shoe of size 11, but have being wearing these shoes for almost 18 months now. Maybe as simple as the shoes, after 18 months are no good any more (18 months = 6000+ miles).
