After 5 happy years of Crank Bros, I'm thinking of going back to toe clips, for no other reason than I seem to be doing a whole load more walking on my rides of late and it would be easier in decent shoes/boots.
Has anyone else flirted with this idea?
get some decent spd boots? like thease [img]

Yes, but only until my medication kicked in.
Dont do it, it'll cut the circulation off and you'll remember what a PITA it was having to undo the straps to get your feet out of them before you fall over in a heap at the traffic lights / stile / river crossing.
As King Taka says.
I have some of those from 3 years ago and wear them at least half the year. Not only are they good for alot of walking but are very protective from flying rocks and stuff.
i have a set of the new one in tom's pic..
not worn them yet, but once the snow has gone i will give em a good testing..
I have toes lips at the mom
I find it very embarassing but functional its fine. I don't tighten down the straps
But my size 12 feet wouldn't fit in with walking boots, if your wood I think its a reasonable plan
ton are they not winter boots??
ton what model were them ones you gave me?
tom
rob, they are mate.
but in the snow i have been riding flats and 5/10s.
dont like being fastened to the bike in icey stuff.
tom, mt90
only on the fixie....
why would you go back to toe clips?
if your stopping and starting all the time the other strap hanging down will catch on everything and it's such a pain in the arse. Half the time if you are going at a decent pace over stuff you pull the straps loose.
It's niether one or the other and is shite - you just get the worst of flats and spds.
So what are the boots in the photo?
