Subject: RE: Replacing Bike Shoes SPD's are just fine. With a decently stiff soled shoe, you're not going to feel the cleat at all and hotspots shouldn't be an issue. The insoles in shoes can compress and wear out. You can pick up some new ones at the drug store. Shoes themselves can wear out over time, too, but a year seems short - especially for road shoes. The velcro and closure mechanisms can wear out, the soles can delaminate, etc. |
