Last year, I finally got comfortable riding with clipless pedals and regular cycling shoes. Now I'm thinking about putting a set of cleats on my sandals.
Any experiences riding clipless with sandals? Do they seem to work as well as regular cycling shoes?
When the temps are above 40 or so, sandals are about all I use. I'd use em colder if I could get a pair big enough to handle more socks and sealskinz. Sadly, the nicest sandals were the old Shimanos that are no longer made. All the new ones are more like shoe hybrids and not as 'free' for those of us with wide feet or don't like enclosed toe boxes.
