The heels are definitely...Thanks for the comments!<br /><br />The heels are definitely more worn on the outside edge than the inner edge, although curiously this is a bit more the case for my right shoe than my left, and the left had the more sever angle.<br /><br />I shim my right foot on the bike (at the recommendation of Curtis Crumblett) by 1 mm or so (cut out of a milk jug). I've not used wedges. There's the test where you do a one-legged squat and see how your knee tracks. My left knee tracks true, while my right knee tends to move in.<br /><br />So I'll try to follow up on my bike foot position. I was planning on getting Bont shoes, so it's a chance to take a fresh look at my cycling form.<br /><br />On the running side: I've been focusing on improving my stride form, and I think it's helping. It got me through the Pirates Cove 30 km trail run today, although my left leg still complains, especially on descents.djconnelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484858820878605035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564958057737541664.post-85519718610603802272010-03-20T06:52:34.898-07:002010-03-20T06:52:34.898-07:00Do you use varus wedges or orthotics on the bike, ...Do you use varus wedges or orthotics on the bike, because you seem to have quite a severe forefoot varus from the images you have posted. <br /><br />You strike the ground with your foot in a heavily supinated position which and the rest of your lower anatomy compensates. I am guessing that if you look at your running shoes the wear is at the outer edge.Allen Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158467563463405723noreply@blogger.com
