Subject: [usarecumbents] New to this group, new triker, with foot pain
Greetings all:
I'm a brand new trike rider, and I'm experiencing some pain in the balls and under-arch of both feet.
I'm very new, and experienced this pain on the first ride. I've used different shoes - Merrell mocs, Nikes, etc, and have found no difference. I keep the pedals adjusted so that there is just a small crook
in my knee when the pedal is fully extended.
Is anyone here familiar with this type pain? And any suggestions re: how to get rid of it? Different shoes,etc?

I agree with Bill. I bought some Cannondale Roam mountain bike spd shoes that were not quite stiff enough. The pressure was a point on the ball of both feet...
