I am a cyclist of 48 years, cycling since my 17th. The last years,
especially when it gets hotter, I keep having problems with burning feet.
After cycling more than 2 or 3 hours my feet starts to hurt.
Does anyone know how to solve this ? I did try other shoes, different socks,
but it did not help.

Eric

What helped me was orthotics. NEVER had a problem until last year,
same as you, got ESoles and no more problem.It has a meta tarsel lift,
that straightens out my toes, makes my toes 'grip' less, no more hot
feet. Might go see a orthotic guy, cycling specific altho esoles are
for any sport involving yer feet.

From what I've read and heard from acquaintances that use orthotics,

you're often going to be just as happy or even happier with over the
counter stuff compared to custom made $$$ orthotics. Heck, my momma
got some very nice ones at the freakin' mall for $50 that she had
fitted in five minutes. My Lakes got a set of $10 replacement footbeds
and are comfy now in bare feet. Still a bit of toe gripping on long
rides, but nothing bothersome.

Esoles are $200 or something--well worth it if it's the solution to a
foot problem, but I'd definitely explore the less expensive
alternatives first.

The problem was worse for me when I was using cheap cycling shoes that
had little padding inside. When I bought some name-brand shoes, I
found they were much more carefully contoured to my foot and felt
better on long rides. I still have the problem some, and am going to
try orthotics, as Peter suggests. Right now I just get off the bike,
sit down, take off my shoes and massage my feet for a minute if the
problem gets really bad. That always keeps me going. Oh, yeah, the
foot pain is worse if you don't drink enough water.

Where do you find cherry juice? I looked all over for it and the closest I
found was a can of cherries in juice.

Common enough in health food stores. The large one near ours even has
pomegranate. Unfortunately, I know this mainly because I was looking
for elderberry and after scanning the shelves several times over, had
to concede elderberry seems to be discriminated against. I guess I'll
just have to settle for the wine version.

I have a Morton's Neuroma in both feet. After 30 miles, I can just scream.
Kingsford charcoal never worked so well...

Got my esoles ordered from their booth at Interbike. Like Peter experienced,
they really made a big difference. The only thing you have to watch out for
was that they have some variance in the manufacturing. I got my first pair
two years ago after being measured at the show. They were right on the
money. Then I ordered a second set a little while later. Those were really
far off from the originals. It took 3 tries to get them right. We were
exhibiting at the Cascade show in Seattle where esoles had a booth too. I
brought the inserts to them along with the previous pair to show the
difference. The next pair were just right. Two of our guys bought sets at
Interbike and each took a couple or three tries to get correct too. I
believe they must have that built into the price or something.

One other thing to look into. When you tried different shoes, did you try
larger (longer) sizes? You're at the age where most men find their feel
lengthening a bit, and for some silly reason refuse to believe it and keep
trying ot fit into a "x" sized shoe. Seriously, I have had guys come into
the shop, *mad* because their favorite shoe manufacturer has changed their
sizing and doesn't make a size "x" shoe that fits any more. It's almost
comical at times. As if you're entitled to die with a foot exactly the same
dimensions you had when you were 20. Weird.

May not have anything whatsoever to do with your issues, and I've heard good
things about the eSoles others have mentioned as well.

"Spenco" insoles with wool socks. Hot, cold, wet or dry I have had no
problems with my feet since
using this combo.

Me? Yeah. I saw an orthopedist and then an orthopterist. Both said the
nerves in the ball of the foot area were being "bothered" and if the bones
were spread apart a little, it would release the pressure on those nerves.

I get that too. Then my whole foot goes numb and hurts after 10 minutes.
Another inflammation that might be applicable to the OP is plantar
fasciitis. That would cover pain on the length of the bottom of the foot.
Stay off it or at least go easy. Ice might help. Tylenol.

For metatarsal arch pain, including ball of the foot, besides getting proper
arches move the cleat back as far as possible so you do not pressure that
part of the foot. Made a difference to me.
