If there's good snow, I snowshoe. No snow, I either hike or bike. Regardless of temperature. :)

6 pairs. This is the problem with running different pedals on each bike...

Commuter - Speedplay Frogs - 2 pair of shoes. 1 pair of older Nikes that were my first pair of cycling shoes, and a pair of Keen sandals for summer riding (but I don't ride my commuter much in the summer so these might have to go soon)

Road - Speedplay X - 2 pairs. 1 pair of Sidis for most of the riding I do on this bike (love these shoes!) and a pair of Lake tri shoes for easy on/off during tris.

Cross - SPDs - 2 pairs. One pair I got on ebay that don't fit well (these will go on sale if I can ever take pics) and a pair of Shimanos I got on sale. I also use these for spin class.

Now if you ask me about running shoes...let's just say I really need to donate to one of those used shoe drives...

Yes, I actually have 2 pairs of Specialized MTB shoes that I use for spinning. I love the looks of the women's BG Pro carbon road shoe...but the dealer near me never has my size (I'm a 42...ya, just call me Bozo) in stock. Not to mention the price tag...:eek:

I had to order mine without trying them on.... I'm on the other end of the spectrum at a 36.... I do quite like them. Nice and stiff with room for my toes to move without my whole foot floating around. They were actually cheaper than a new pair of Sidis (even with a discount) with a composite sole, so while they were a bit pricey, not too bad for a full carbon sole.

You two just reminded me that I have a pair of specialized mountain bike shoes in a closet waiting to be put into service. So I need to add 1 to my total.

I'm with Eden - I wear 36 or 37 shoes, so I tend to find my bike shoes on clearance. My sidis bullets were like $60, my carbon soled shimano bike shoes were $20, a couple others were like $1 + $10 shipping on ebay. If I was paying full price, there's no way I'd have as many bike shoes as I do.
