Metatarsal Pain (Ball of Foot)
I am experiencing metatarsal pain caused by the pedal pressure. I wonder whether a different pair of shoes would help. My present shoes are Five Ten Freerider. The sole is extremely flexible. I am surprised and disappointed that the shoes did not have stiff soles. I don't want to return to clipless. In other respects the shoes are good. They grip well and feel comfortable. I am considering Pearl Izumi X-Alp.
Any insight and or recommendations will be appreciated.
