I'm having huge trouble trying to find a suitable cycling shoe.
I don't have SPD pedals, but have a toe clip and strap, which, for the time being I'm more than happy with.
My pedals are slightly spikey, so when I just wear trainers, the spike gradually starts to make an indentation in the sole of the shoe - and it starts to really hurt after a while.
I'm doing LeJog in June, and so I really want to find a shoe that is going to be comfortable for long days in the saddle. Ideally, they should be breathable, waterproof (or able to fit overshoes on), and stiff for maximum efficiency.
I'm failing so far in my search… my usual converse-like shoe aren't going be any good - they are too flexible for one thing. I could change the pedals of course for less spiky ones, which will sort out one problem, but I'm really after proper cycling shoes...
Any suggestions would be very very welcome!!
Thanks
Jo
