Those look fantastic, jbonamici.

We stopped at Campmor in northern New Jersey recently. I convinced my wife to get SPD pedals and shoes. She got shoes that look like running shoes and are good for walking. I think they are also the Lake brand.

Next, I'd like a DRESS shoe with an SPD cleat.

Sometimes, I hate Shimano, but I gotta say, SPD is one of the best things they invented. Its potential hasn't even been exploited yet.

I'm currently wearing Nashbar SPD-type sandals. When they wear out, I'm getting genuine Shimano sandals. I guess I have a love/hate relationship with Shimano.
