The thought of having my toes unprotected whilst on the bike terrifies me, honestly, I cant sleep at night because of it.

Ahh, so toes are resistant to tarmac then, or will you have socks on too?
Posted 2 years ago # -
That's just wrong! So wrong.:-)

Okay so a clear feeling there.
I like sandals in the summer and I like bikes, what does a guy do ??Posted 2 years ago # -
Im still looking for some flip flop SPDS, would hurt alot less than using my spiky flats...
...would make change overs in triathlons much faster as well.

A guide in the Alps we met when riding there had his foot all bandaged up. He'd been going down a descent, and ran into a motor biker. The motor bikes brake disc had cut most of his big toe off, and he'd had a nice pair of normal SPD trail type shoes on.
Can't you just get a pair of sandals and bolt cleats onto them?

I've got these ones. They look a bit Euro, but they've got toe protection and the feeling of the wind in your toes is lush.
I haven't even got a beard.Posted 2 years ago # -
Wrong by the fashion police no doubt but probably really functional.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I'm sure that even the actual police think they're wrong. I don't care. I do draw the line at socks though.

Looking at some of the posts on here I'm beginning to think that my SPD flip-flops might not be met with universal acclaim.....

Jerome I've a pair of shimano spd sandals which I've tried once but basically were too small for me. They're 45/46 sized so could be the right size.
You're welcome to put an offer in for them and I'll post them outThey're fine for most stuff but don't offer toe protection so v technical stuff runs the risk of bruised toes etc

I had a pair ages back when I lived in London - really good. No real mountain biking available down there, so it was just commuting and riding round town. Nice to have a set for the summer IMO.

If he doesn't want them I'll offer you £7.43.
I've always fancied trying them out but not enough to pay anything like what they actually cost... So £7.43 seeing as they're full of holes like...Posted 2 years ago # -
They are the worst things Ive ever seen.... Dont forget your bible and brown trousers.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Cookeaa, they're yours for £7.43 However in the manner of ebay post and packaging for where ever you happen live is forty quid

I assume with the addition of some sealskins you can make them "all year round" riding shoes plus you up their fashion stakes - Win Win!!

I once had a pair of Shimanos - great for touring on and all I wore in 3 months around Scandinavia. The water just runs out.
However they were heavy, clunky and ugly. They may have improved.

If you determined to look like a dick just wear a mankini and be done with it, there made of lycra aswell and the the feeling of the wind on naval is lush!!!

I never cease to be amazed at times. SPD Sandals!!! Please no socks with them.
Whatever next - string vest cycling jerseys - that would aid ventilation and make you look a wally too.
Posted 2 years ago # -
bol - who makes those?
My Shimanos are a bit too open toed.
And to the dissenters, it's a bit like your first time on a nudist beach. Once you've done it you're hooked.

The thing with SPD sandals is that they look sooooooo bloody RUBBISH. I virtually live in sandals most of the year, but I wouldn't be seen dead in a pair of them. I just ride with flat pedals and whatever I happen to have on my feet on the commute/road now. I can't be bothered with cycling shoes unless off road any more

@Rip, they're Exustar SS502s. I've never come across the brand before, but they were the only ones I could find that had toe protection. It makes me laugh that in a sport where skin tight Lycra over less than athletic torsos is a regular sight, the idea of sandals is so repulsive, but I'm happy enough if I make people smile on their way to work.
