If I didn’t know better, I’d think I have some sort of problem. I’m starting to have an embarrassing number of shoes, for a guy. But really, it’s just a symptom of all the things that I do.
My intent had been, for my new road bike, to just use my mountain bike shoes. I liked that the cleats were recessed, they aren’t terribly heavy, and they vent okay. But the dealbreaker was, I was having to clean the mud off of them every time I wanted to ride my road bike, and that was getting both time consuming and tiresome.
So when I came across a closeout deal on last year’s Shimanos, I decided to jump on it. I haven’t pedaled in them yet, but they seem to fit just as well as my mountain bike shoes, if a tad more snug. And they don’t look half bad, either!
