My right foot the shoe and footbed fit like a glove. The left foot on the other hand, I always end up with pain to the bottom of my foot. I have tried the footbed that came with the shoe (Bont), Sole footbed, and G8s and none seem to resolve the issue. Has anyone had a similar problem? Any thoughts?
It’s possible the shoe is too narrow for that foot.
you’ve put that shoe in the oven to stretch/mold it to your foot?
I’ve molded it to my foot multiple times.
Feet can be different on the same person. I can feel my sock under my toes on the right foot. My left foot feels nothing. Left foot is also bigger than my right causing issues.
It’s a good question for a bike fitter, subtle (or pronounced) differences left to right can mean you may need a novel cleat position on that side.
if you’ve got a local running store with a foot scanner, go get on it. It is very common for folks to have different sized feet and different widths as well as need different support. Where a foot needs width in a shoe varies as well - some folks need it across the ends of the metatarsals, some need it in the midfoot. if you don’t think squeezing is the issue, you could pop a 3/4 insert into the shoe (maybe one with met pad) and see if anything relieves the pain. Could be that arch just needs a bit more support than the other.
