MINE DO.. I have tried three different pairs of tennis shoes and my feet fall asleep each and every time I am on the elliptical. Any thoughts on this?

| Mine do, too! I've got about 3 different pairs of shoes I wear, and all three of them do it, so I don't think it has anything to do with the shoes. I do what Nessa suggested, and that usually helps for a bit. |

| It seemed to help today to concentrate a bit on my feet when I was on the machine:) I lifted them more and they fell asleep less.... |

| Happens to me everytime. I end up bouncing around the different machines (when I do them) 10 min elliptical, 10 bike, 10 treadmill, etc.... |

| I used to workout in cute Skechers rather than proper cross-trainers - my feet would always fall asleep on the elliptical. Since I have been more picky about my shoes, I have not had a problem. When I am home, I only wear socks on my elliptical and my feet don't fall asleep at all. It might be worth going into a proper sports store and having someone properly fit you for shoes. |

You generally need a wider shoe for most machines and need to move your feet around a bit. My feet will take a nap if I don't pay attention on the stairmaster.
Also make sure you don't have them laced too tight. |

Yep, wide shoes, stretch out the toes every so often. The nerves between the toes get pinched and irritated and you don't want to develop a neuroma. Trust me on that! Try moving so your weight is not always on the balls of your feet. I'm trying to move my right foot a little more forward on the pedal so the weight is not on the ball.
