I just tried on my new cycling boots, and while they keep my feet warm I don't like them.

There is extra room on the toes, making my feet look a half size larger than they really are. This is unacceptable!

Maybe the little lady at the dry cleaners can hem the front down.

Lol is all I have to say.

Maybe the extra room is for thicker socks, to keep your feet really warm.

Wow. A whole half size larger.

You'd better get a red rubber clown nose to go with those oversized clown shoes. Problem solved.

They can't possibly be as big as Sorel snow pacs, when I wear my Sorel boots my feet wind up looking two sizes bigger.

Eh, it doesn't really matter. There were really cheap so I figured I'd give them a try. The cut on the bottom is odd, and it is next to impossible to clip in with them on. I'm already looking at others online, but I think I might just run down to the LBS, because it doesn't look like I can really get a good deal on them through ebay. Maybe I'll gut most of the bottoms off slap on a couple strong elastic straps and use them with my mtb shoes when I get them next month.

Don't gut the booties just yet.

Maybe the new Mtb shoes wil be a half size too large as well.

Yeah I'll wait till I get them. The cleats for the crankbrothers pedals I want are smaller than the cleats for my keo pedals.
