Good job. Your numbers are similar to mine, except I haven't been over 70
miles yet. The problem now is my feet...either my toes get all weird or

the
bottom of the feet, right below where the pedal is, start burning like

hell.
That's what happened yesterday. The Brooks saddle is working out great!


I had the burning feet problem with my Shimano 515 pedals. I changed to Look
pedals and it went away. Also, make sure you have enough room to move your
toes around in your shoes. The problem, it seems, is a nerve between the 3rd
and 4th toes. The larger platform of the Look pedals spreads the force over
a larger surface and decreases the chance of getting this nerve irritated.
I was also advised to put some kind of pad under the metatarsal arch or use
orthotics or get stiffer shoes. I got the Look pedals AND stiffer soled
shoes and the problem went away.
