too bad your feet are not a hair smaller...i could kick you a pair of my older ones with plenty of life left.
@
shovelhd's point is a good one. on a per-hour basis -- and for how important they are -- the cost of good shoes amortizes down to nothing pretty quick.
you are correct. And i guess i'm being more choosy as my two pairs of DMT are still very serviceable (that's a total of $265 for two pairs, going back four years, though i had to spent $80 on replacement buckles for one of them). $225 is the most i'd like to spend on something new and with warranty, and i'm not sure i can still get all the lifetime warranty coverage if i go the ebay route

Chappy, look on eBay for S-Works shoes. I got my wife road and mountain S-Works for $220 total. Road shoes were new, Mountain had been ridden a couple times. The person selling them bought both pairs, but found they weren't quite the right size. I just happened to find the auctions - it was two separate auctions - at just the right time and buy both pairs.
My wife loves them.
thanks for the suggestion. I have looked at ebay, but so far n deal that good.
