Clipless Shoes

[LBTC]

Yes, toe wiggle room was very important to me when I tried on a million shoes in the store. The trouble I had was finding a wide enough toe with a tight enough heal box. I am really happy with the Specialized shoes!

Good luck!

Hugs and butterflies,

Thanks, but with a pair and a spare of road shoes plus a pair of lugged mtb shoes now, I hope I'm fixed for a few years hence! My DH wears only Sidis and loves them. He's afraid my bike shoe collecting is getting as bad as my street shoe addiction, ha!

I've ridden in Sidis all my cycling life almost. I love my Mountain bike shoes. Loved my road shoes. A couple of years ago I was sponsored and got a rip roaring deal on Specialized road shoe. It is okay and I still wear it cause I'm frugal, but it is not as stiff, nice and as well fitting as my old sidis.

I have a fairly slim foot, long toes and a very slim heel so maybe that is the type of foot Sidis fit?

My husband has the narrow version of a Sidi and he really likes those.

speed play pedals and specialized shoes. I love the double sided entry.

I have Keo Sprint pedals on my road bike. Slight learning curve with the pedals, but they're pretty easy to use once you get used to clipless. I like the larger "platform" of the Keos and the grey cleats have enough float for me (Keo red cleats have more; Keo black cleats have none).

I have Sidi Zeta Mesh road shoes. They're a well-made shoe, but as another poster mentioned, they have a relatively narrow toe box. Sometimes my right toes feel a little "twisted" because of it. Also, I agree that their sizing runs a bit small.

I have Keo Sprints. I use the red cleats though. I agree with the 'learning curve' but I really like them. Only downside is that with road shoes those cleats are slippery when you stop at a red light!

I have had a couple pairs of Specialized road shoes (one cheap pair for spinning and a nice mid-price carbon pair for the road bike), and they're great. I've got narrow ankles, and these fit the best in the heel. Especially the carbon shoes which have a neoprene sockliner. The women's shoes get a little narrow in the toebox. The men's shoes aren't too big, but roomy enough for orthotics if that's an issue for you. (that's what I use for spinning).

I really like the different arch support inserts you can get for Specialized shoes too.

I have specialized road shoes (inexpensive ones) with SPDs, as that's what the bike came with and it was my first clipless adventure. This combination is working just fine for me right now. If I were to change, it'd probably be to speedplays. That's what my husband has and he really likes them, but he's used clipless for a long time.
