something nice and hilly Bike Setup:
LeMond Nevada City with Time road pedals + adapter for Look-drilled shoes. Summary:
I bought these shoes because, as a rank beginner, I didn't think I could really justify the expense of a better pair of shoes, and at sale price these shoes were $30-40 cheaper than shoes at the next price point up. Three months later, I have mixed feelings about the decision. As far as fit and comfort goes, the low-end Lake or Shimano road shoes would have been much better. But, performance-wise, they're not a drastic improvement over the Primos. The Performance shoes will certainly tide me over until I can afford to plump down the $$ to order some Sidis from one of the European online shops. Strengths:
These shoes are a good, cheap introduction to the world of clipless pedals. Unlike a lot of bike shoes in the sub-$150 range, these shoes are roomy enough to fit people with wide feet. . . Weaknesses:
. . . which will be a problem for you if, like me, your feet are fairly narrow. The toe box is cavernous, and the positioning of the front strap (combined with the two-strap design) makes it really difficult to snug things down. As a result, when spinning hard it feels like your feet flop around excessively and the shoes are much less comfortable than they could or should be. Also, the sole has what seems to be an exotic curvature. Similar Products Used:
