Are there any runners out there who have had experience of calf problems when running, who also use these shoes for cycling. Just to clarify, I use running shoes for running.
After consulting a physio, and getting new, more supportive trainers, the right calf problem I was experiencing seemed to be solved. However, during this period I was not cycling at all. After having a ride last Saturday for the first time in a while, running on Tuesday and Thursday both resulted in my calves tightening.
As I had cycled in my old shoes, Answer type trainers with spds, and run with no problems for 3 months, before getting the Specialised shoes, and with my experience last week, I can only conclude it's the shoes.
Could it be the Varous Wedge in the sole causing the problem? Do any runners out there know if I could fit a forefoot wedge insole into the shoes to counteract the wedge in the shoe. i.e. to balance them out?

this is news to me... I've got those shoes, but don't suffer from any issues with tight calves...
Could it be due to the placement of the cleat in the shoe, fore aft etc.. I know I had to fiddle round for ages with mine to get the right 'comfortable feel' with these spd shoes compared to my old lakes...
They did feel a bit weird to get used to at first, but have not had any problems since...

hum... I'm not doing the necessary research!!!
