[Today at 01:44:51 PM] FACTORe: I am not good on either bike

[Today at 01:45:06 PM] FACTORe: too bad this isn't a relay and I can do just the road part

[Today at 01:49:46 PM] BillT: you are going to have fun with p90

[Today at 01:50:16 PM] BillT: the guy is a little annoying but it gives you the option to cut out his talking if you want music

[Today at 01:50:25 PM] BillT: the timer at the bottom is a nice touch too

[Today at 01:56:15 PM] FACTORe: I am a week behind you

Thoughts on this combination for my first shoes and clips?

Very slim budget. Need something practical for this muddy/clay environment for Boyette and Alafia mainly. Have heard good things about the Times, but really wondering about the shoes.

Thanks - any and all input is appreciated.

my experience is that every shoe company sizes a little different - it will be worth a little extra $ to get shoes from a LBS to make sure they fit.  Nothing ruins a ride more than ill fitting shoes.

Agreed! but his other option would be to try out the shoes he liked at the LBS and try to find them on Ebay.

Now that I know that I like Specialized shoes, I can order them from anywhere and know they will fit.

I have had those same pedals for close to two years. They have held up pretty well so far and do pretty well with mud/clay. No idea about the shoes, but you should try some on for size. My Shimano sizing is way different than any other shoe in my closet and I would not have known that if I did't try on a few different sizes.

Times= Buy,try,love for years.
 
I have some of those shoes ( new not yet used) that if you wear a size 45 you can try on for fit before ordering. Tell me what size you think you need and I'll check mine to see what they are.

I bought that exact combo about a year ago. Love the pedals but those shoes hurt my feet. they were too narrow for my foot. I have the Euro size 45 shoe if that's your size you can try them out and if you like them you can have them and just buy the pedals.

[paddlewave]

I wouldn't buy shoes on line! My ride buddy and I both have sixe 45 specialized shoes. And I can't even get his on my feet. So just because you get fitted at the bike shop, dosen't mean you on line purchase will fit. Get the deal on the peddals, on line; but support your local shop with the shoes.

In summary:

Times Goooood real  GOOOooood.

Buying shoes online not so much.

Can't wait to start falling off my bike in new and exciting ways not yet experienced.

[Darrinw2001]

yeah, shoes need to be tried before you buy.. those pedals are $50 on pricepoint and are great! had mine over a year and love them...
