After only 10 minutes out of the box, I took a Stanley knife to them, cutting off the pointless center strap and the mesh. I hate it when they try to 'improve' something that is already perfect. Wish I'd seen the SD66s before I put in my order as these look like a better bet.Loree Westronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664030727905231847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-63906459997343320202009-10-02T05:03:38.459-07:002009-10-02T05:03:38.459-07:00haha.. cool one.. but you can get a copy of new de...haha.. cool one.. but you can get a copy of new design with it.denparserhttp://get-infoz.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-61221013310624076112009-10-01T17:03:42.987-07:002009-10-01T17:03:42.987-07:00heh heh.

I wish S...Yeah. the leather is really a silly idea. I wish Shimano would just make some improvements on these sandals: fix the rear plastic piece that always ends up catching on the chain stay; make them more resistant to water. I too use these as swimming sandals, and really the pleather, or whatever they use on these sandals is not ideal either. <br />I couldn't make the Keens work for me. Search my blog for a couple reviews on those. My first pair fell apart in about a month. Keen was good about sending a replacement pair, but they're just too narrow -- which is what I like about these shimanos: the foot bed is normal shoe width and they can handle socks.John Spearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187638368645707099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-18940998934213363032009-10-01T10:55:26.078-07:002009-10-01T10:55:26.078-07:00I should post a photo of mine- the soles are almos...I should post a photo of mine- the soles are almost entirely Shoe Goo. I wish i'd bought a backup pair before they changed the design.<br /><br />The new ones look tolerable, but why on earth would they use real leather? Half the point of SPD sandals is that they dry fast after a summer rain or dipping your feet in the lake at a rest stop. <br /><br />When mine do finally wear out I might go with the Keen bike sandals. If i have to deal with too many straps then I might as well get some toe protection too.adamhttp://junkmiles.netnoreply@blogger.com
