Shimano 2005 Sandals (SD60)

[Nanci]

Those are the 2005's.

I should probably sell my road shoes. They are nice Sidi's, worn like twice. I just don't like the slick soles- never will. They got ignored when I got the MTB Sidi's, now with the sandals, they'll just never get worn.

I'm thinking, this Saturday, I'm going to start out with sandals with wool socks, since it's going to be in the 50's and 50% chance of rain, and fast descents, but carry a dry pair of socks to change into.

Darn it all! I'm a total sandal freak. I have more sandals than shoes. But I just read the "incompatible" shoe list for my Frogs, and sandals are verbotten!

(the reason given is that the toe box hits the crank arm and you can't unclip)

Now, I gotta wonder if smaller sized sandals, like those which would fit a woman's, feet are ok?

Anyone using sandals and frogs, let me know!

What about the Lakes on TE's website? They have 2 straps and 2 different models. I've been looking at them. Anybody have any feedback??

If you wear a 37-38 there's a pair on ebay:

I wore my new sandals on their first century (third ride ever!) Saturday: 3-State 3-Mountain. Since it was in the 50's when I started, and I knew there was going to be a fast descent in the first 20 miles, I wanted to wear my Calientoes toe warmers, but they wouldn't fit over the sandals. I improvised, and wore them over my socks inside the sandals, and they worked just fine.

This is the first Century where I wasn't dying to take off my shoes and walk around barefoot starting at 60 miles. No hot spots, barely any intermittent tingling...It's going to be hard to go back to shoes ever! My feet felt great for the entire ride.
