In cycling, the foot is integral in the transfer of force through the bottom of the shoe. Shoes and regular orthotics and insoles aim to inhibit all foot movement and treat the foot like a lever.
Over time, the muscles of the foot atrophy which causes the bones of the foot to collapse onto the nerve endings and blood supply. Not addressing this early enough can lead to severe problems such as plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the plantar fascia, and Moreton’s neuroma.
Other indications of damaged foot muscles are temperature control issues where the feet either are too hot or too cold.
The cyclist is in a fixed position, it is difficult to change the angle of attack of force application as there is limited ankle mobility. The longitudinal contraction and expansion of the foot act like a spring and is necessary for effective force transferal through the bottom of the foot.
