Every cyclist knows what a hot foot is. It is a burning pain in the ball of the foot that radiates toward the toes. It hits every cyclist who loves long distance cycling or tough mountain rides. The pain is not caused by heat, but by the pressure on the nerves located between the five metatarsal bones. These nerves get squeezed on account of the furious pedal movements between the heads of these bones. Cyclists often pour water to quell the burning feeling, but this is not the right solution.
