Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!
The outer edges and outer edge bottoms of my feet get sore during centuries
with sneakers and my other regular shoes. If I pedal with different areas of
the foot, the pain seems to go away.
Also, I feel like my feet got wider this year for some reason.
In my late 30's I went from a size 12 E to 13 because I go almost
exclusively barefoot all the time. Aside from pregnancy, I'm not aware of
other triggers for foot growth.
With abandon,
Patrick
