Road Shoes......

[Owlie]

Thanks Owlie!! I think my LBS said SPD pedals...but suggested a Bontrager shoe that would accommodate the 2 or the 3 hole pedals if I wanted better pedals later on. I'm not crazy on the look of the shoe though. I DO have a performance bicycle here, just down the freeway Maybe I'll go in and try some on. I also JUST came across a pair of Mavick Giova shoes for a VERY nice price on sale, but I wasn't sure of the quality. I like them though. A lot. So many options are nice, but make my head spin. Also, I'm a size 8 in my running shoes, if I order online, should I be ordering a size up?

Depends on the shoe. It's a starting point. My running shoes are a US 9.5, though street shoes I wear anything from 8-9.5. The Mavics I tried on were a men's 7 or 7.5, so in European sizing, they were something like a 40-41. My Specialized shoes are 41s. In Sidi, I think I take a 42.5. I think I'm a 42 in Louis Garneau, and that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Try a few on before you order anything so you get an idea of how each brand runs. Mavic seems to run relatively true-to-size. Sidi and Louis Garneau seem to run small and narrow, and Specialized seems to run a little big, but that's my experience.

Does anyone know anything about the Diadora Aerospeed 2's? Quality and Fit?
