Fair points. It is dead of winter here (mostly doing indoor training), diet has been roughly the same. I may go back to the shop to have my feet re-measured and looked at. Will also look at insoles.
Could be COVID toes. Chilblain-like symptoms that increased in prevalence when COVID hit. I’ve had these symptoms multiple times since COVID (but have never tested positive for COVID).
I currently have these symptoms, and when I was riding today, I noted a similar sensation to what you describe above.
I’m having the same issues. I’ve swapped shoes and insoles with little help. I used to like any shoe now all my shoes have one issue or another.
I’m still wearing my Lake 241 but use a very thin sock and keep the bottom dial loose. Also, after tightening the upper dial I tap my heal to ensure my foot is furthest back then turn the dial again. Seems to help.
This happened to me, i did my first 100 mile race, found my two big toes were bruised and ultimately lost the nails. Has not happened before and I figured it was a lot of time out of the saddle and harder efforts for longer periods. On longer ride, I now tape my big toes and it has been fine !
I have shoe stretchers like these when I online purchased shoes that were a bit tight. I have to periodically re-do them as they do change with temp, humidity, especially after a wet race!
