Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My journey to the best road cycling shoe

The journey to the perfect road shoe. I’m sure we’ve all been there trying to find that right fit in a shoe that doesn’t give us hot spots and the occasional ache. I've went from my favorite Shimano RS321's to Specialized S-Works 7, to Bontrager XXX and now my new favorite Shimano RC9 S-Phyre. On my blog, I wrote about how I found the perfect road shoe and all the hurdles it took to get there.

Good read, but heads up—you duplicated the third paragraph.

I am glad you found the perfect shoe for you. Shoe fit is personal like saddles etc., and what is best for you may not be best for others.
