I was wondering if others on here have experience cuts on the top of their feet, around the base of the big toe. Every time I wear a pair of spikes for 5k and up they seem to cut into my skin at the same spot every time. The problem continues even if I have socks on so I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and found a way to fix this.
its possibly just your type of spike. Maybe try switching them out
You might try lacing them differently. Maybe you're tightening the lower parts of the laces more than you need to. I guess this might happen if you have wide forefeet. One of my teammates who has wide forefeet uses a lacing method on his shoes and spikes where he skips the lace holes between the top and bottom ones, so there aren't any laces going over the top of his foot. Maybe that would help?
I use athletic tape over that area. I had the same problem as you, even with socks until I put a bit of athletic tape. just a small piece will work, I put it where I use to get cuts ( on both feet of course)
