Reviving This Thread? A Follow-up Question...
Hoping we can revive this thread for a bit. I am now looking at new shoes and pedals, and I have appreciated all the posts on this thread.
I have tried on the Specialized Women's Carbon Pro shoes, and I am in love. They feel amazing.
How is it for those of you who have road racing style shoes, when you go out for a century or longer? My LBS guy was questioning whether I would want pure road shoes if I was getting off my bike for food or restroom breaks all day. I have to admit I wondered about this myself.
Is it REALLY hard to walk in them for the kinds of breaks one takes while doing the long rides? Does putting the little protective cover thingies on them help you walk, or does it just protect the cleat?
I LOVE how those shoes feel in the store. I am hoping they could work for 12-14 hour organized rides...or even longer...like doubles.
Thanks!
