Foot pain

Hi, after riding with my boots for two days my feet started to hurt. And my calf muscles are fatigue. Does this happen when you ride for a long time with boots? Or is it because I keep my feet on top of the peg instead of under? Thanks.

Could be position, although your boots prob just need to break in a little? I know it's a silly question, but do they fit properly?

sounds like you are riding with them in a stress position

or perhaps very tight around your lower leg

when i first got my tiger, because the position was so different, i found i used to keep my legs tensed on motorways

would wake up the next day barely being able to walk, i still catch myself doing it sometimes...but less often

so try and feel for it

I meant is it because I rest the front of my foot on the peg while my toes aren't under thegear lever. They do fit properly, but they are new so maybe that's just it Confused

Try fidgeting your legs every few minutes. Your riding style matters a lot. If you are stressed then it will effect the whole body. Be relaxed. The type of shoes matters a well. Brand new shoes can be a killer if not broken in. I ride to london and back to cardiff almost every week but never had problems with shoes.
