SPD Cleats: Pain behind Balls of Feet?
Hi there. When I am cycling, I get pain/severe discomfort behind the balls of my feet, on the side nearest the bike (i.e the inside)
I have read that to relieve pain in the balls of feet, it is common practice to move the cleat back towards the heel. However, wouldn’t this assist in placing the cleat underneath my sore spot, thus making it worse?
The pain occurs in both feet. I can get relief from it if I loosen the velcro straps, although I like to keep them tight to get more power. It really only happens in standing climbs – when I sit down the pain lessens
Which way should I adjust my cleats?
Here is a link to an article on cleat placement.

Hope this helps.
