Recumbent - Any one try 661 biking sandals?

I'm wondering if anyone has tried 661 2 strap biking sandals? If so how did you like them and were they true to size? (especially the width, I wear a EE) I bought a pair of Lake's but they have some kind of stretch fabric between the straps, doesn't work well with wide feet. Here are the ones I am considering.

Thanks.

It's the middle of winter! You must not have a winter storm warning for tomorrow.

Have never tried sandals for cycling.

Thinking of warm weather biking helps me cope with the winter blahs, plus as long as it can take for me to find a shoe that fits, I need to get a head start.

Someday I want to see a study on foot width vs upright/bent. It seems an inordinate number of bent riders have duck feet and can't wear 'normal' shoes. Is this another stereotypical trait that has a basis in fact? They all wear sandals because shoes don't fit? Is this why they ride 'bents in the first place. or merely a side-effect of the pedaling position or maybe age? Maybe I should apply for a federal grant to study it!

Oh, and I've never worn sandals on a bike and never heard of SixSixOne; so I can't help there.

You could ask the BF Institutional Review Board to approve the study.

I think sandals are super for winter riding, the trick is to find big enough booties to seal around them, because almost all booties are made for road shoes, and so they are way too tight on sandals. The sandals advantage is that you just loosen the straps when the second pair of socks goes on, so that you don't compress the socks. I haven't found the perfect bootie yet, so I switch back to platforms when the studded tires go on. Neoprene socks like sealskinz extend the cooler temp range on sandals down below freezing, but I still want more insulation once it gets into teens and less (degrees F that is).

I've had duck feet since I was a kid. Quack, quack.

So it is true about bent riders having beards and wearing sandals! :eek:

wool socks under sealskinz are good down well below freezing...if your sandals and straps are big enough.

I've never tried the Six-Six-Ones because I think their largest size is like a 46 or 47 and I wear 48 - wide - and need something even larger for winter riding.
