SIDI shoes - pain in my sole!

ashleymp777

Does anyone own a pair of SIDI Dragon MTB shoes? And did you experience any kind of pain or numbness along the outter edge of the sole of your foot?

I've own my pair for a few months now and I keep getting this numbness/pain when I o riding. Do I need to replace the inner soles with something else? They do seem quite thin and unsupportive.

try not doing them up tight

you're doing them up too tight.

The idea is that they fit nicely, not squeeze your foot at all. Generally i keep the velcro fairly loose, the wind up strap thingy one click past gripping and the ratchet quite tight.

Weirdly, I don't think I am doing them up to tight and they still manage to make outter side of my right foot hurt.

sidi insoles are quite waffer thin so i put some Inov-8 Standard 6mm insoles on top, works for me. maybe check the cleat position as well

Mmm, thanks. I'll give them a bash.

try them loose for a while

I have sidi dragon srs shoes. I found the best cure for this is to buy some specalized insoles, they're similar to orthotic insiles, i found this removed the problem for me.

I tend to suffer with the same problem no matter the tension of the shoe.
