MY FEET burn (the ball of my foot) after I ride my bicycle for more than 1/2 hour. Do you know why?



I ride on pavement with clipless pedals.

It is a muscle problem (muscle in your feet). I have had that problem years ago when I rode. A lot of that sort of problem is solved by changing shoes, even for pedaling. To what? Usually, almost anything that is different from what you use will work.

It also could be the position of your foot on the pedal. Try pedaling with your toes instead of the ball of your feet, or vice-versa.

Also, check your seat height. It could be too high, which might make you over-extend your feet.

This is the sort of problem you can solve yourself, by thought and experimentation once you understand the general problem.

The best source of problem solving for feet problems is RUNNER'S REPAIR MANUAL, probably available used online. But, I don't know if it covers biking problems or not, but you may find that 'burning feet" problem.
Yes, I do.

I'm so very sorry for you.
Yes, you need biking shoes. They make a huge difference!
It likely has to do with being too sexually promiscuous or walking on hot coles after you're done riding your bike. Can anyone else confirm this?
i think you dont always ride bicycle
Take your bike (and the shoes) into your favorite local bike shop, they should put it on the stand and make sure it's aligned correctly. You shouldn't get "hot foot' at a 1/2 hour, though on longer rides like 60 to a 100 miles it's not unusual to need to flex, stretch your feet.

things that may help:
stiffer shoes and or get insoles like "smartfeet" for more support
are you wearing bike socks? they will keep your feet cool
may need to change to a pedal system with more "float"
