Favorite Spin Shoe Brands

[greycoral]

I don't do well with tools and confidence, so I let the shop switch my stuff up (or I could potentially just switch cleats for class, etc.), but I thought they could replace the plate in the shoe to fix the cleat? When my Zetas were brand spaking new the tech torqed the screw too tight and broke part of the cleat. It still works... but I think it could be replaced. You might go into the shop and check it out. Or, maybe try geeking it out on here, or google, for replacement plates. I'm not a tech queen... but seems like I've seen the part before. FWIW....

My Shimano mtb shoes have a removable cleat plate, but the diadora's don't (necessarily). I actually cut through the fabric to remove the plate to see if my shimano ones fit (they don't, the shimano plate is too wide and doesn't fit in the niche). The fabric folds back over it just fine, I have thin insoles that I put in them so it doesn't rub my foot. I tried some longer screws, and it seemed to hold better, but i can feel them slightly without the insoles. If all else fails, i'm only out $10 (for the used shoes), but i'll have to keep looking for something else. I'm not ready to shell out $100 for spin shoes, i'll go back to wearing my mtb ones!

$10 for the used shoes... wow, that's killer! I know, as I was checking out fitting the Superfeet that just came into stuff, the Diadoras are glued... but not tight. I think Superfeet makes some type of insole that can fit over the current insert if you cut it more. That's good to know, because that shoe has no arch support what so ever. I think that's part of my issue. I've been lazy lately, but normally I'm at the gym a lot regardless of what I'm doing outside. I'm certified to teach too, but just have never started yet. So for me, it's enough spinning stuff to justify the shoe. It's funny... when I wear the mtb shoe out on the trail and come back in with sticker weeds I forgot in the velcro at spin class, some of those proper ladies raise an eyebrow at my mtb remains. I think it makes the mtb shoe happy though.
