Subject: Foot hurts...want new pedals/shoes
My left foot tend to hurt while biking after 2 hours. I went to fitter last year and they put some shims on my shoes. It was a little better but not much. Today I was out for my "4 hour ride" and at hour 3, my left big toe had enough (this was after taking shoe off at hour 2 and massaging foot). It was aching a ton. It's not even rubbing against anything so I have no idea what's going on. I was 3:15 into ride when I was back at my car to refill for a quick 45 min out and back. With the foot issues, I just quit right there. Not happy about that so I want this resolved. I currently use spd-sl and am willing to buy new pedals and shoes...like now, over this. Any suggestions?

What kind of shoes do you have now? I doubt it is the pedals unless you have a soft sole and poorly placed clip.

I was thinking of trying new shoes first. I have some Giro Treble shoes now. I was looking at some Shimano R88's, as they have decent reviews. Thought I could start with shoes and go from there. Don't know I can drop $400 on shoes. Upper models seem a bit pricy...

I also don't think $400 shoes are always more comfortable than $100 shoes. I would try to get stiffer soles and consider carbon. I also think that tri shoes might be a little nicer than road shoes for triathlons.

By becoming more aware of your pedal stroke, you can choose to manipulate where and how you activate your leg muscles as your foot traces the circular trajectory at the cranks.

I started riding this spring with the Carnac shoes on Look pedals (with plenty of float). About five minutes into a ride I get sharp pain on the outer edge of my feet, just behind the pedal.
