I have a pair of those. The cleat nut-plate came already installed. No pulling the insole and doing it yourself, ready to go. TSL had mentioned that cold is transmitted through the cleat into the shoe so I decided to see if I could do a Southern Climate modification.
The classic good ol' boy redneck method worked. Duct tape, Alabama Chrome!!
When I got the insoles out I found that there was nothing over the cleat-nut recess like on my road shoes. The unused pair of screw holes went straight through to the inside of the shoe. No wonder my toe covers weren't worth a hoot!!! A strip a duct tape gave me a lot more warmth, like closing a window.
Nothing bad about the shoe.....I really like them. Not too bad to walk in, they are stiff but the sole is shaped so they kinda roll along. They have a big boxy toe--room for extra socks without that cramped feeling. They are quite heavy compared to my road shoes.
Tuck the laces in on the right shoe.
