    Yes, you are correct. I currently have two pairs of shoes - road and mountain. I use my road shoes with Speedplay X-2 pedals on my road bike and my mountain shoes with Frog pedals on my mtb. When I get a second set of Frogs, I will use my mountain shoes on both bikes. I prefer my mountain shoes anyway -- they are easier to walk in. And they're newer and prettier.

    Another big Froggie fan here! Love the lack of spring tension and the float. Clipping in or out is never a problem.

    Frogs can be used with road shoes. Here is a link to the Frog Instructions, scroll down to the last page and you'll find the compatibility guide. Frogs are compatible with all road shoes with SPD-style 2-slot installation configurations.

    That said, I use mountain shoes with my road bike too. I'm not a racer, and I like being able to walk somewhat normally when I get off the bike at rest stops and such.

    Thanks, that was interesting. It is really just a thought as sometimes I would rather have a road shoe as I think they might be lighter than the mtn shoe and wonder if that makes a difference on long rides. However, like Emily said, I also like the advantage of walking wherever I want for the rest stops and where ever. Well, I guess I know there is an option. Maybe another would be to get lighter mtn shoes.

    Thanks much ladies!!!
