Extreme Veteran  801   Ballston Spa, NY |  Subject: Numb toesSo I've been getting numb toes while I'm riding. I initially thought it was my seat and the way it was affecting blood flow to my legs and all that. But talking to the LBS they said it's the positions of my cleats. Is there anyone that can verify/deny this? Are they smoking crack or is this legit? I don't want to just go messing around with my setup... |

When I was pulling up my feet were shifting too much and was still having a little bit of numbness. I'm going to try and move them back and go out for a spin tomorrow and see how they do. Just wanted to make sure that my LBS wasn't smoking something. |

Hopefully moving them will solve your issue - good luck! |

Member 131 | Subject: RE: Numb toes This might sound silly, but make sure you're socks aren't too tight. I tried some socks that were looser fitting in the toes and it helped a bunch. |
