I'm in Cardiff for the next couple of days, and after some new cycling shoes. Anyone know which shop has a good range of women specific shoes?
Ta very much!
Not sure on the women's specific stuff but worth a phone call

Not sure about women specific suff but the ones I use are:
sunset
don skene
treadz
all of the above are slightly out of town though
also worth a look maybe is that one on basement floor of house of frazer.
Theres another one at end of cathedral road but i dont use that one much
BikeShed is good (Cathedral Road, also there is a rather nice little shop downstairs in House of Fraser (Howells) in the City Centre, also there is Tredz on Penarth Road,
How long you down for Sue?
Great - cheers guys! Will try the one's closest to town (Bike Shed and below Frazer's?) as I don't have enough time to go further out.
ron jeremy - I'm just down today and tomorrow, mostly working but have some time free this afternoon and this evening so thought I'd try and get some new shoes while I'm down.
Wish I had a bike with me so I could have gone for a ride, but not possible so fitted in a dawn ride this morning before I left so will head for the pub this evening instead 🙂
I use Tredz. Great service.
Cyclepedia on the cruis road? Worth at least a ring to see what kit they have in. Centre of an active club (Jif) with many female members, do road mtb and track and alumni include someone called Geraint Thomas.
hmmm ... must admit am rather disappointed in what the bike shops had to offer. Made it round 3 different shops, and only one option available to try on.
It would appear that "we don't stock women's shoes as there's no demand", or even worse was told "you can't get road shoes which are compatible with mtb spd's" - erm, yes you can!
Feet are sore, and I am somewhat disgruntled. I try to make thd extra effort to buy from bike shops rather than online, but not if they can't / won't meet the needs of female cyclists. Time for a glass of wine before I become a grumbleweed!
it must be a pain being a woman sometimes when your looking for stuff in a male dominated sport. Its often hard enough to get male stuff in local bike shops
