Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Carbon soled shoe failure.

Anyone here ever split a carbon sole shoe lengthwise? I think that is what I'm feeling under my little toe side of my left foot when I stand up and give an effort. I can't see anything wrong externally and I can't see anything inside due to a layer of material covering the suspect area. I don't want to peel it off because I'm thinking about taking the shoes back. They have less than 100 miles on them and only started to feel this anomaly at around 70 miles. The outsole is not a woven CF, BTW.
Any ideas?

Brand? Pics?

Possibly your toe is on the edge of the insole feeling like a crack?
