Only got back into biking on Saturday, but I'm already encountering an issue.
It is an uncomfortable and tingling sensation in my left foot :(
I've read that due to exercise on a bike, the bloody flowing to your feet can make them expand. My footwear is comfy and spacious though. I actually have a hard time buying footwear due to my feet. I literally tried on 60 pairs of shoes before I purchased my current ones. And I bought two pairs because I was so delighted I found ones that actually fit my feet. They were on sale as well, which helped! :)
I actually did have this sensation a year and a half ago. It must have been from using the bike machine in the gym. I saw a podiatrist, and x-rays were done. I was provided with specifically designed insoles. But nothing else could be done. There seemed to be no concerns with my shoes either. But these insoles are not helping my left foot when cycling.
For the summer, as an alternative, I can use my sandals, which should give my feet more room to breathe. I will see if this helps. However, I was looking to do this year round, so sandals will not be appropriate for the winter months!
Anyone else experience these foot issues? It's an annoying, tingling sensation. Not particularly painful, but irritating nonetheless.
Any recommendations on how to handle this issue?
Thanks!
