Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

I had to trim a LOT off of the size 12 insole so that they would fit into the narrower Sidi shoes, despite the shoes also being 12's (actually, 11.5 "mega"... close, though). I then followed the directions -- put them one at a time in an oven for a couple minutes (toaster oven in my case), threw each one into a shoe, cinched down the straps extra-tight for more pressure, and stood on them for another few minutes.

It took a few tries and re-trims before I was satisfied, but they seem to work really well. I think I'm going to get another set for my uniform shoes at work.

(finally taking a look at their site..)

I've got the Regular Softec now; I'd really like to try their Slim Sport model, though. If I can't find them locally, I'll try mail order.
