Left Foot Sweats More Than The Right
we like to ride in the rain a lot because the bike path is not crowded and the additional training time allows us to be one up on the other "pathletes" which allows us to inflict pain, suffering and humiliation onto the unsuspecting victims during the warmer months as they were unwilling to pay the price. Their unwillingness to suffer leaves them with a deficit that they will never overcome due to the tremendous head start that we have given ourselves during the winter. But that is not the story.
so while out in a fierce and frigid long distance rain storm the other day we come home to find that the right foot has the usual dampness from foot sweat, but the left foot is really soaked.
we search the shoe covers for leaks and find nothing. so the next time out in the rain, we put a couple of plastic bags over our shoes and then put on the shoe covers.
we come back and find out that nothing has changed.
the moisture has to be coming from the left foot, but why/
do we favor the left leg over the right due to the sometimes sore knee? no, both quads look about the same.
so we hit up google and sure enuff, there is a medical explanation>

It may have a lot to do with which foot is our lead foot, and the fact that one leg and foot may be stronger than the other. This is not unusual. A foot or a leg that works harder might sweat more.

it's the sun heat being more direct on one side than the other. try changing riding position directions.

Is it possible that one shoe is tighter than the other?
