Clipless shoe reccomendation
Can anybody reccomend a good clipless shoe that isnt too pricey. I would like one that will allow me to walk out of the woods without too many probs if need be.
Also, I was checking a website and the shoe sizing was something I had never seen before. I wear a 9.5 shoe. Can you translate that to the sizing used for clipless shoes please. Thanks

Most manufacturers have a conversion table on their website. If not, there's always Google.

I will add that if you are looking at 661 shoes, I have found that they run pretty true to size.

Personally, I would go local shops and buy a shoe there. Nothing worse then ordering a shoe online and it not fitting. I think it's worth the extra $$ to buy at the lbs and know it feels good.

I agree with MattP. It's good to try them on prior to purchase. If you can't and are unsure about sizing, you could order a few pairs, keep the ones that fit and return the others. But that would likely cost more money with the shipping charges.

As far as walking out of the woods... bring a tube, pump, and a powerlink and you can just ride out of the woods 99.999% of the time. The other 0.001% you are screwed.

How about that? (The shoes are availiable separately for $53)
I posted the combo because I'm considering it myself. Any thoughts?
