We are now guaranteed another month of winter. I have just sent all of my winter coats to the cleaners and bought a brand new pair of *white* mtn biking shoes for the summer.
Thanks for the heads up on the Keen sandals. I have them on a wish list in a wide size. I’ll need to make sure if/when they’re purchased they come with a generous return policy. Sounds like I’m likely going to need it.
Their newer models are supposedly better, but the commuter ii’s–I put them on and my foot literally hung over the sides. That seemed to be a fairly common complaint for that line. Here’s an article with a before-and-after comparison: http://www.bikerumor.com/2013/08/18/review-keen-commuter-iii-spd-cycling-sandals/ I’ve mostly given up on the idea of cycling sandals, as I really like my carbon-plate shoes for long rides, and for short rides I can just use regular sandals.
They are gorgeous. They are WAY too small. (Which I knew they would be, but I had to try.) They’d probably fit you well if you wear a size 8 street shoe.
Anybody interested before I ship em back to Cali? $120.
Where’s a good shop to go to try out MTB shoes? Ideally somewhere with a medium/large selection and reasonable prices. And yes, I know about the internet; already tried it twice w/out much luck (see items for sale above). Thanks
I know nothing about biking but I plan on buying bike shoes for a friend of mine this summer. His foot length is 11.6 inches and has pretty wide feet. I don’t know how sizing for bike shoes work so what do you guys think will suit him best?
