Femmes Quest Road

I was so excited to buy these shoes for my indoor spin class. I spin about 3 times per week. Previously had Shimano IC1’s which I loved but wanted something a bit more upmarket and more comfortable. Most reviews suggested that Pearl Izumi’s were up there on comfort.

I have worn them 4 times now. They are ok but make my toes numb after about 10 minutes. I have loosened the straps off completely and still numb. This means that they are either too narrow in the toe box (even though many claim that they are good for wide feet; the sole plate is too stiff told lastly the tongue sticks into the ankle when cycling. I think it is the tongue pressing on a blood vessel cutting off blood supply to feet causing the numbness. It’s such a shame as I had real high hopes about these shoes. I ordered the white ones and they look amazing but for now I will order another brand and put them aside. Shame.
