I had custom cycle shoes made by Don at D2 Shoes. Yes, its a good thing that you are sitting right now (at least I hope you are!) because they were friggin expensive. He has since sold the business. Anyhow, that shoe gave me the blue print to take a standard pair of Diadora shoes to the cobbler and he altered a $50 cycle shoe for about $100. He did as nice of a job as D2 for about $700 less. But, my guy would not have done it without seeing how it was done professionally. As for only making up half the difference, or splitting the difference, I call BS. Especially when you're that far off kilter. Don had never done a shoe like mine, but the results are fabulous. The shoes are incredibly comfortable to wear off the bike too, which is why you want to make up the whole difference on the shoe, so you're not carrying a spare pair of shoes with you everywhere, or limping because you don't have a spare pair. That'll throw out your back and neck, and who wants that friggin pain? My shoes are similar to the picture from rhm earlier in the post. Sorry, I realized after I wrote all of this that this is an older post. Hopefully you have found your way!
