Is this normal? Is it something "you just get used to"?


Sounds like the shoes are too small. I would divert to the nearest bike
shop that stocks shoes and buy another pair.


Many people have to go a size up to get a shoe that fits, so it is
essential you try them on before buying.


When wearing the shoes they should not be tight and the toes should not
touch the front of the shoe. I always get shoes where I can wiggle my
toes a little.[...]


Too tight shoes are even more of a problem on a recumbent with the bottom
bracket at or above seat level. I have a pair of Shimano ATB shoes which
are a little narrow. These shoes are fine on the ATB and the low bottom
bracket recumbent, but cause pain and a burning feeling when used on a
higher bottom bracket recumbent.


What a laugh the above statement is.


What an outright pillock.

Do you sleep standing up?
