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....
I saw the Lake CX401 when I was in the stores. Tried them and didn't like how they feel.
So S-Works Road shoe or ProLight SLX with old hire as heel pad? Any other recommendations of shoes that doesn't need hack jobs?
I am not a big fan of Sidi shoes. The performance difference in stiffness is not that perceivable to me compared to other brand's top of the line stuff and does not justify the big price difference. Online sites say the Sidi Vent Carbon is also much heavier too.
