    Default Do your feet go numb on the elliptical?

    I think i may have weird feet. I seem to walk on the inside of them, I noticed my flipflops wear out funny on the inside and my feet kind of cave into the middle. When I'm running on my elliptical machine my feet go numb after 20 minutes and i have to wiggle them a lot to get feeling back.
    Does anyone else experience this?

    my feet go numb on the eliptical only sometimes, and I don't walk like that. My flip flops wear on the heel. I'm a dragger.

    Happens alot but don't know how to stop it from happening. I can remedy it but can't stop it.

    My feet go numb on the elliptical sometimes, too. I thought I must be doing something wrong, but apparently I'm not the only one.

    I overpronate (walk on the outside of my foot) and my feet go numb sometimes on the elliptical too.

    Yup, happens to me too. Mine happen on the outside of my feet. I hate how it feels and always shift my feet to try and make it go away.

    yeah. that's supposed to be really common with the elliptical, though, so it's nothing to worry about.

    My feet also go numb on the elliptical, but I walk more on the outside of my feet. Guess it happens to almost everyone.

    My feet go numb on the bike too. Moreso than on the elliptical, or at least, faster.

    This happens to me too. I found that if I push down through my heel instead of putting the weight mainly on my toes it helps.

    Even if I try to use my heels a lot, my feet always go numb on the elliptical. I try to proactively combat it by getting off the elliptical to grab water from the fridge every 10-15 minutes. Just taking those few steps helps a lot.
