I'm not quite getting how the cleat could have separated from the shoe without damaging the sole. Were the bolts loose? How does the LBS think it happened?
Is it possible that the cleat coming off caused the crash, and not the other way around? Sudden separation under load (which could happen if the shoe failed) could easily cause a fall. I've seen a shoe fail before (it was just starting from a stop and he didn't fall), so it does happen, but I really don't know what kind of stress the rider might have put on the shoe before it failed. Might it be a warranty issue?
