I've experienced that.  I suggest lengthening your stirrups - you're 
probably putting too much weight in them at too much of an 
angle.  Ideally, when your legs are hanging relaxed (not pushed 
straight) and your feet are held parallel to the ground, you should 
only have to lift your toes to get your feet in the stirrups.  If you 
have to lift your whole foot up, your stirrups might be too short for 
you.  Try that for a few miles and see if it helps.
