Cycling shoes giving you sore feet? Try moving your cleats a little...

Got some new Shimano R191 SPD-S road shoes recently. Same size as my old Shimanos and fitted the SPD-R cleats in what I thought was the same position. Took a short ride and the outside of both feet started to hurt. Not alot but enough to irritate. Tried a couple more short rides, same thing. Having just spent £120 on new shoes I was getting a little pissed off, so I googled a little and saw a few suggestions to move the shoes closer to the crank. Measured current position and there was a 5 - 6 mm gap between the shoe and the crank. Reset cleats as far 'out' as possible (they moved 2 - 3 mm out). Remeasured and clearance between show and crank now more like 3 mm. Went out for a 60+ km ride; no foot pain. So, getting the cleat position right can make a real distance to your comfort. By the way the R191's are great shoes. Good fit, good ventilation, stiff sole and light. And the colour matches by Sunday bike.
