what a difference an inch makes!

My new cycling shoes are size 8 but really I take 7.5 so when I secure then in the straps, I find that I am using the pedals with just my toes. It is very hard to get any sort of power and very tiring. Should I scrap the shoes or use inner soles to get a better fit?

You need some larger clips so that the toe goes in further and the ball of the foot rests on the pedal.

That would help but a poorly fitting shoe is never going to be ideal.I would try and sell them on here or ebay and get some that fit.
