I have a pair of Axo (?, can't tell for sure from the logo) that I bought at a bike swap meet for $10 with stiff soles and no provision for SPD. They look like skate shoes but are perhaps the best bike shoes I've found yet. I had to cut off nearly a foot of lace from each shoe and re-tip them with heat shrink tubing to make them just right.
Also, I have a pair of Montrail trail runners that were too stiff for running but work nicely for cycling. They have a flap that goes over the laces and zips shut and snaps down, keeping the laces away from the chainring. They came with gaiters for the really cold days. In the summer, I wear a pair of North Face sandals. Jeff in KC On Nov 14, 8:01 pm, Jim Cloud <cloud...@aol.com> wrote: > +1 on the Sidi Touring shoes that Rivendell once sold.
