After roughly 1500 miles of trike trekking, the bottoms of my Lake MX-165 mountain bike shoes (MTB) are showing signs of wear, as well as the Shimano binding piece that inserts into the pedal. These shoes are certainly comfortable, yet I am contemplating moving to a shoe with a more rigid sole to help keep the foot gremlins at bay just a little longer during long days in the saddle. These soles are ultra thick Vibram, great for my off road camps on trips due to their flexibility, but they still allow for more compression of my forefoot nerves than I’d like. Perhaps a nylon, fiberglass, or carbon sole is in my future. More later as I figure out which one.
Hey Steve, correct shoes for the activity one is engaged in really counts. Speedplay Frogs have worked well for me on my last two bikes. Will put them on my new trike to be shipped in a week or so. Any hard soled shoe for biking works well with them.
Check Friday’s post in a couple days to see my pick. Thanks for sharing!
