Flouro shoes

[jim55]

du think these are 2 bolt ( spd ) compatible? It says they are but looking at pics I can't see how to secure the bolts , only the slots are there

Sorry, but

 

[roadrash]

no, spd only.

 

[jim55]

Spd is 2 bolt ( which is what Iv got
Spd-sl is 3 bolt


Anybody know what the slots are for

 

[vickster]

Normally SPD but they should be the same size, those look like cheap cr@p

Except not that cheap at £53 for a Chinese knock off

 

[jim55]

Iv looked at the soles and I can't seem to work it out they look the same slots as other ones so they must b for something , one big long slot and one short one ,, what's that about

 

[vickster]

Never ever seen such a thing, I wou,d t touch with a barge pole. If buying shoes online, get from a retailer in UK and preferably with free returns

If you want yellow SPD shoes and are a 46 http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/p...801210044146?gclid=COvPiu7zlMUCFYuWtAodI30AcQ

Or just get some fluoro overshoes. E.g waterproof http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-asphalt-h2o-overshoes/rp-prod121302

 

[jim55]

Yeah I was thinking overshoes , Iv got good specialized touring shoes (smooth rubber soles) and they fit well

 

[vickster]

You wouldn't be able to walk really on those anywhere as the cleats aren't recessed

Those shoes will take 2-bolt or 3-bolt fittings. You only have to look at the pics (or read the description).

 

[jim55]

Yeah that's a point , I can't seem to find a flouro mtb type shoe that looks ok most are " bring out the gimp "

 

[jim55]

What about these , du think they are sidi specific or make any bike shoe look like sidi, if so and they fit they would b ideal

What are you actually trying to achieve with all this?

 

[jim55]

I was wanting a pair of flouro shoes but after seeing the price of good ones I'm looking for a cheaper option lol , I tend not to ride I. The rain so I don't need waterproof covers , just something bright

 

[vickster]

Do you really think they make any difference? If someone isn't going to look, they won't see your feet. At night, you want reflectives not fluoro. Just a fashion thing, hence only the trendy or high end brands really make the shoes. You don't need for MTB shoes unless concerned about kamikaze squirrels!
