To the OP, how much will you ride in the snow?
Every day. The winters are quite snowy here and winter boots are a must (for me anyway.) If I have to ride without foot retention I'll do that. But I like these sorts of projects, so if I can get a cheap pair of boots (used?) and cut them up to mount the cleats I'll do it.
I'm mainly concerned with how I'm actually going to screw the cleats in. I'm assuming the rubber sole won't be adequate. I was trying to look at my SPD shoes and it seems like there's a metal plate about halfway inside the sole. I need to figure out how to get one of these inside the sole of the boot.
Kayce, why will I need low profile pedals? Wouldn't anything work?
