Numb toes

If loosening your shoes and supportive socks don't help you can also try moving the cleat back toward your heel 1 mm or so. I had probs with my toes going numb on longer rides (>60 miles) and that solved it for me.

I used to get that as well, only on longer rides - especially noticeable in the cold.

The advice I got was:

- Loosen your shoes, for me this means doing them up tight and then loosening the Velcro by 5mm or so.
- Get socks with support (elasticated section around the arch of the foot), not really sure why this helps but it did for me.
- Regular wiggling of toes while riding. Rather than waiting for my toes to get numb, I make a point of wiggling them every 15 minutes or so to ensure they have adequate blood-flow; looser shoes aids said wiggling as well.

I haven't gone down this route yet, but I hear overshoes can help a great deal with cold/wet shoes over the winter months. Most cycling shoes appear to have lots of vents to aid heat loss, great in the summer but not so much in the winter.

are your shoes too tight? I've had that with r107s and I slackened them ever so slightly to remedy it

what cleats, pedals and shoes are they and can you feel the pressure point from the cleat through your shoe?

cleats or insoles most likely .... I use the spesh bg insoles - stopped my left
toes going numb

a bloke I ride with had this with mtb style spd's. he switched to the touring
style spd (a520 i think) and that fixed it for him.
