I have been suffering lately from pains in the toes of the right foot even after 30 minutes on the bike. I use SPD pedals linked with Shimano gore mw81 boots and M087 shimano boots. I have the pain in the 2 toes in from the big toe. The cleats are set up the same as far as I can see on both shoes. As close to centre on the base on the shoe in the lateral aspect and in the forward and back position it is now as far back to the ball of the shoe as possible. I have the heel pointing slightly out by a few degrees to stop heel rub on chain stay and keep the knees from external rotation. The pain becomes really bad and usually results in multiple stops to release pressureto the toes.
This used to happen after long rides like all day west highland way epicsat about 1/2 way but now it is starting to happen really early and is affecting my training for 24hr endurance.
My "M087" shoes are fairly new and I am aware that it started getting bad around the same time as i bought them. Not sure how it could be as they have a really stiff sole and the cleats have been positioned in the same position as normal.
Help.....
