Shoes, hot spots, brands, etc.
I thought I'd share the "outlet" page of the Lake Cycling website for those thinking about new shoes that have a wider last and are highly touted by bike-fitters, i.m.e. I have had a few pair, and they are more comfortable (and plenty stiff) than my current Bont Riots. Though Anthony did refer to Lake shoes as bougie, he led off mentioning the $450 Bont Vaypors 😂😉. I'm not arguing they aren't, as the Lake shoes are expensive new as well--but often they have last year's at a significant discount. https://www.lakecycling.com/collections/outlet
My local excellent bike fitter, Andrew Bosco (who has fitted a bunch of folks, including differently able bodied people like his Paralympic gold medalist wife), will always remove the original insole (on these or my Bonts or any other shoe) and then add these: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bike-clothing/cycling-shoes/cycling-shoe-parts-insoles/cycling-insoles/trek-biodynamic-mid-arch-cycling-insoles/p/5280357/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21269219690 (which are made by superfeet) which give your arch sufficient sensory input to tell your brain to use your glute (especially important on right side for most humans given our natural assymetries R-L).
My hot foot is worse in the Bonts than the Lake's, but I still like the Bonts for lightness and a taller heel cup, which makes the brain happy.
