Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Need advice on road shoes...

I would like to upgrade to stiff road shoes. The problem is that I like to have my feet quite far forward. In other words I like the pedal axle to be way in back of the ball of my foot. The road shoes I saw at my local shop doesn't allow enough cleat adjustability. Anyone know of a good shoe that allows this?

Not sure of anything other than speedplay zero possibly having more adjustability, but I'm just guessing. Also, those types of shoes specific to that clipless type are unicorns. Idkw it's rare for speedplay zero specific shoes without using additional bracket plates, seems odd...

I can't provide specific help, but include the term "mid-foot" in your search for cycling shoes.
