My box from TE was waiting for me when we got back from picking up Thom's parents at the airport yesterday. I tried my new shoes on, wore them around for a bit, decided they fit well and put in the cleats.
It was nearly 100 degrees here, so I opted for no Saturday ride. But I got out nice and early today. I rode just under 40 miles - no hot footand the shoes feel good. It's easy to adjust them as you're riding. And they are very walkable.
Next weekend MP is planning a death march ride for us - anybody want to come? so I can preview parts of the Mount Tam double. If I don't get hot foot on that ride, I'll feel like I've got a real winner.
My ruby slippers.

Looking forward to hearing how they do. Do they have a special feature with which you can click the heels to get home when you're just done with riding for the day?
My grandmother always said red shoes ran faster; I'm sure it holds true for the bike as well! L.

Good luck with your cool new shoes. Looks like they match that snappy red jersey you're wearing in your avatar!

Those are MY shoes. I have three pairs of 'em (don't faint, Colorado Cyclist had them on sale last year so I got two spare pairs in case Sidi stopped making them in that lovely rose color). Don't you love them? They have awesome "illuminlite" properties, too, so they are great after dark. Hey, they will match your NEW BIKE, too.
By the way, I broke down and bought YOUR wicked expensive shorts, V.

I hope you like them! If you don't, I'll take them off your hands. If we're the same size - I had to get an L. BUT I really hope you like them as much as I do.
Let me know if you see those shoes on sale anywhere else. If they turn out to be right...meaning no hot foot on a century...I'll buy a couple of pair too!
Thom didn't buy the matching bike theory.
