Sounds like a Specialized crap shoe problem to me. I have a pair of Specialized whatevers. They are supposed to have special insoles to support your feet etc. etc. needless to say my feet go numb. Theres a lump where the SPD mounting plate is. You'd think after all these years they could make shoes without that lump. I guess it above the intelligence of Specialized to reach into a shoe and feel around. FWIW I did fell around when I bought them. Its just a crap design.

I dont know about y'all but I worked hard to get a good job and work my butt off for my money. My jobs as stressfull as they come and I hate spending money. Whenever I spend money on something and it doesnt work as advertised I'll never spend a dime on that companies products again. I dont care if it was a 2 cent part that failed. Specialized is on my list. Tomorrow I find out if Bontragers on my list.
