I bet I know just the problemyou mean... I always got it terrible & still sometimes do. For me, it was related to my flat feet.

before I fixed it.. I used to just ride through the pain for an hour or so, and then the arches would basically be numb and i'd be alright. but I know that there were plenty of nights I had a hard time making it through that first hour cause the throbbing is pretty legit & hard not to focus on.

definitely talk to your doctor about orthotics.. your feet will feel better after just any long day of walking as well. good luck dude.
That's probably it. Thanks man.

I'm also looking into getting a stiffer soled biking shoe.

Seriously, if I wanted to I could just throw the next gay guy I come across right up against a wall and give him an anal assault and he wouldn't complain one bit.
