Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

So I bought these last winter from Performance for $40USD:



They were a size too big but being a noob I cycled another 4000km until I got these today.



For about $32USD.

Thank you bye bye.

It helps to know someone who also ordered the wrong size shoe

nice deal I have no experience yet with sidi bike shoes, but if they're anything like their motorcycle boots, they rock hardcore!

Actually I didn't swap shoes with him
Does anyone want to buy my severely hacked exustars? I trimmed the tongue flap thing but otherwise shoe is in ok condition.
