Looking for advice after big toe / ball of foot numbness
Hello! I have a pair of Scarpa Moraines, previously a pair of Solomon trail runners, and I just completed an 80km through hike as well as a series of day hikes in Newfoundland. Throughout both trips, I encountered a lot of numbness in my big toe and the ball of my foot. This happened with a small day pack (~5lbs) and my camping backpack (~20lbs). I've tried a few things to fix this:
Tying the laces differently to heel lock (did not help numbness, did help heel sliding a little)
Different socks (cotton, wool, thick, thin). No change.
Focusing on my gait - heel toe, heel toe. This helped at first but I experienced numbness shortly after.
The shoes do fit and do not feel too narrow on my toes. I am usually size 9.5-10 (depending), Scarpa shoes are size 10 1/3 (their in-between size). I do have a fairly high arch but regular(?) width feet (~10-10.5cm in width).
I've ordered a pair of Superfeet insoles to see if this helps, but wanted to see if there were any other suggestions or bits of advice. Thanks in advance!
