Sorry I seem to be replying to two threads and am not sure what has been
said, so sorry for any redundancies. I would recommend a simple shoe cover
if the cold is due to wind going through your shoes. For colder weather,
there are neoprene booties shoe covers that work very well in blocking wind
Hey,
as far as toe over lap, it was a fear of mine but, really, it has not
been a problem. I have not moved my saddle yet... I can say that the
pedals look odd but feel great, really connected to the bike, I can push
hard with no pain. It is a shame that they charge so much for them but
if they
I didn't see a price--how much?

I have a pair of these, and they are not bad -- not wonderful wrt
comfort and fit, but not bad at all for $100, and they look normal.
AND, they are not blowing them out for $45.
Please don't bring back the Vittoria whites!
Amen, Tim. Baby needs new size 48 shoes here, too...
What is the collective Bigfoot doing for smooth-stiff-soled footing
these days (platform/clips-n-straps) anyhow? I've had to revert to the
dread clicky Shimanos for rides of any real distance recently, after
fatal leather shoe failure...

With bike shoes, I (size 13EE) always feel like I'm being told by the
manufacturer, No, you with big feet are not allowed to ride bicycles with us.

I have a pair of Reynolds British made shoes. Mine are an older style than
heir current offerings with a sole that is too flexible for long distance
riding in non-platform pedals. Very well crafted. The new ones appear to have
a beefed-up sole. Bear in mind that a UK size 12 is equivalent

Interesting: I went back to clipless (SPD and Look) on my two Rivs,

I've got two pairs of Keen Coronados; one canvas pair, and one bike pair

both work fine for cycling on Grip Kings, Sneaker Pedals, etc. and allow my

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.
For me the magic formula has turned out to be the Keen Coronado Cruiser (that's
the bike specific version) for summer and warm weather and I have just
discovered the North Face Snow Sneaker II for cold and wet weather riding.
There's obviously no snow in the Bay Area, but when I start my 16
