Secondarily, if you haven't gotten them already, pick up a set of the Speedplay Coffee Covers (tupperware lids for your cleats). It helps the whole walking without slipping thing when you get off the bike for breaks and whatnot.

I keep them in my jersey pocket or seat bag so they're handy.

I, too, love my Speedplays (X2's)

That's a good question about the shoes. I will say that the ones I had... have these raised sections on either side of where the cleat goes. Hard to explain.

Honestly, maybe I was a doof... and when he said I needed new shoes, I went along with it. DUH! Why didn't I ask WHY?

I will say this though... I talked about buying a cadence monitor, and a new seat... and he said I didn't need either... based on the discussions I had. He also sold me a mid-priced shoe, vs. selling me on the more expensive shoe, even when I was open to it.

I have to go up the bike shop... I will see about those covers you mentioned above! Thanks!
