So far the recommendations are:
- Bont Vaypor + <-- I'm sure they can be comfortable but they also look a bit ugly
- Sidi <-- I am guessing you people mean the Wire Vent Carbon? The Wire Vent Carbon ($500) are way more expensive than the Giro ProLight SLX On Amazon ($325) in my size. I am a little skeptical about paying $175 more.
So just 2 options? Any more shoes that matches my criteria?
Anyone got experience with the S-Works Road shoe?
Cut up an old tire and use shoe-goo to hold it in place. BTW, you'll be surprised at how hard it is to cut up a tire....
I have some teammates that wear S-Works shoes, and they love them. Seems like a good choice.
Lake shoes have replaceable heel pads - you might want to look at those. They come in Speedplay-specific models, too. They're also real leather, which is a lot nicer in hot weather than the plastic of Sidis....
