Prob cos of my age started to get pain behind all the toes and espec big tow after cycling as l if bending the foot during pedalling is spraining the tendons on the top of my foot..It then seizes up.Would cycling shoes or even cycle clips help do you think.If so is there any cycling shoe brand or other way which you can recommend .

    I assume you don't wear cycling shoes at the moment, I'm sure they'll help you. Stiff soles in general are a must in my opinion when cycling

    Sounds like you have the foot too far back on the pedal, the load should be through the ball of your foot, not the toes.... SPD's are great at locating the foot right (or at least in the same place!) every time!

    I use spech and they are great, but have just bought some Shimano's (not used yet!)
