Road shoes and cleats match the most with what I'm looking for and currently using, light, good ventilation, large base, no hot spots, with the addition of firm soles, continuation at stroke bottom, and the potential of doing drills with each leg. The only negative is walking in them. Perhaps using cleat covers, adding rubber mats or carpet, or slipping my feet out and walking barefoot between sets would be helpful.
The Shimano PD-RS500 SPD-SL pedals look good, but vary greatly in price (60 to $123).
I like having plenty of toe room, so picking suitable shoes can be difficult.
How do
these shoes look as possibilities? They are somewhat reasonably priced on Ebay.
I'm open to using mtb shoes and cleats, provided they can match what I'm currently using and looking for, i.e. light, breathable, stiff soles, no hot spots and are reasonably priced.
