I'm a champion of buying things on the internet.
I'd like to get a very proper fit of shoes locally.
I have a Kona Zing coming (whoooo!) and I need to outfit myself more proper than mtb shoes and eggbeaters. Saddles also!

I went to Performance in Northbrook and was disappointed. (Though not in the pricing on their Fuji roadbikes which was incredible)

Who has a good selection and help for me?

Thanks!

Well, I gotta plug Bens Cyclery (http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=205&zenid=d876b10306e1e4ca6b800475c0f732a3) on Milwaukee's south side. You won't find a better shop around, although the selection of shoes on their webpage is quite lacking. Second tier picks would be Rainbow Jersey (http://www.rainbowjersey.com/) and Wheel & Sprocket (http://wheelandsprocket.com/). Chicago certainly has other top Pro shops - Turin in Evanston (http://turinbicycle.com/) comes to mind. That would be a trip worth while.

More local to you, what about Racine Cyclery (http://www.racinecyclery.com/) ?

not to forget George Garner in Northbrook. That's a good shop.
