Duncy H Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Was out today and not for the first time experienced foot cramp while riding. What is there that I can do to solve it? I use 5 10 freerider shoes and wellgo mg-1s. Could do with a quick answer for the tyke trial tomorrow. (I couldn't find that other topic i noticed that was similar the other day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Excercise it, and drink more calcium, lol. Calcium ions are responsible for your muscles working, and cramp is when they struggle to release and allow you to contract them. Thus, calcium is good for your muscles.

AndyHasIt Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm getting this a lot as I'm just starting out. Was limping for 3 weeks from what seemed to be a permanent cramp, but I didn't want to stop riding. I found heat helps a lot, from a hot water bottle or just wrap your foot round a mug of hot water (keep your sock on), for 5 10 minutes and the cramp will ease off surprisingly well. You can also do it before going out. (The thread states "remedies"... for "prevention" you're apparently better getting sturdier soles ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) where abouts on your foot is it ? if its the bottom/sole stretch your calves, tight calves put stress on the ligament on the bottom of your foot and cause pains.

chris_trials Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I used to get that with my 5 10s, must ne due to the fact they're the biggest soled shoes on the market. I found that you will eventually get used to them, just need to put up with them. As for remedying cramp, untie them every few hours to let your feet "breathe" for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
