+ another 1 for Keens. I have the "Commuter" sandal which has a stiff sole and can accept cleats, though I don't use them. They are great down to about 45 deg with wool socks, and they are quite a bit narrower than regular Keens, which is good on the bike, but a bit less good for walking around.
I find that for rides longer than 30 minutes the sole of my regular Keen sandals isn't stiff enough, and I start to feel pressure points from the pedal (VO Touring in my case.) A bigger platform pedal would probably solve that if I wanted to. -Pete On Nov 14, 7:33 pm, andrew hill <neurod...@gmail.com> wrote: > Nope, the bike-specific Keen Coronados i've got are cleat-free (no place to > attach them). > > Keen does make similar shoes with cleat-attachments, and sandals like that > too, but the bike ones I'm talking about are just less flexy in the sole and > upper than the lighter-weight canvas Coronados. > > Best, > Andrew > > On Nov 14, 2010, at 4:31 PM, Thomas Lynn Skean wrote: > > > Thanks for the tip on the bike-specific ones...
