I get numb feet when i am cycling, what kind of insoles should i buy for my cycling shoes?

I have a new pair of nike kato cycling shoes, but after wearing them for only a short period of time whilst off road cycling, the soles of my feet go numb. The shoes fit perfectly, and i don't get cold feet or have circulation problems. Should i get insoles? If so what kind?

I take it nothing has changed on the rest of your bike set-up/components and that you are used to riding off-road?

Insoles could make it worse as the fit might be tighter. Immediately after the next ride; check you don't have any red chafing marks on you feet. It sounds like your shoes are too tight somewhere, rubbing or squeezing your toes/a nerve.

Don't just buy insoles, try a few more rides, you may just need to get used to the shoes and bed them in a little to the shape of your feet. Ask more experienced riders/friends if they can spot the problem. If it doesn't get better visit a podiatrist to see if the cause can be isolated.

Is this cycling shoe right for spinning?

Do you know if the cycling shoes model Grandfondo WRX from Nike can be used for spinning classes?
