Subject: Time for new shoes So since it seems slow, let’s talk shoes.
I bought mine about 5 years ago. I bought Specialized Tri shoes and I ordered them. The store did not have any to try on so I tried some road shoes and used that size to order the shoes.
Now I was still new to Tri’s and had my “I am going to race every weekend” attitude. Then reality kicked in. So I have these shoes that really do not fit that good. My foot can slide around a little in them. I can push down on the front and there is a space between the front of the shoe and my big toe. My third toe seems to rub on the front of the shoe. If I wear some socks it’s not that bad.
I think I would like to get a proper fitting road shoe. The tri shoe seemed Ok, but being truthful with myself I only do a couple races a year. A few seconds or even a minute in transition is not going to matter that much. I do however enjoy riding my bike, even if I do not race.
So what are the group’s suggestions? There are not any well stocked bike shops around here so I am looking at least a 60 mile one way drive to shop. My budget is in the couple hundred dollar range.
