Are they that uncomfortable that it's the first thing they think of after crossing the line? Do they tie them extremely tightly so it almost cuts the circulation off or something?

So the cameras focus on their shoes. Get wise.
to loosen them
Feet burning up from friction
Spikes are tight, wrapped to cut, when racing. Not only that, walking normally in plated spikes is awkward and strains the achilles if you're not moving fast and carrying weight through the toes. They feel great when you're running 22sec 200 pace but as soon as you're done, they need to come off.

Do they size them smaller for more power?
So they can take them off and pose with them in pictures. Like skiers kicking up their skis.

I like that everyone thinks their feet will fall apart if they don't.
To draw attention to the shoe, 'and now a word from my sponser', 'this victory was brought to you by...'

Not all athletes are sponsored by the same company who makes their national kit.
