'Kaze Pete Posted July 1, 2020 Share Shimano reissues a legend, SPD sandals back to celebrate 25 years of comfort over style!Not sure it is ideal winter wear for where I stay, but if you love your crocks /sandals for the free air flow they provide, why not go retro on your MTB? https://bikerumor.com/2020/06/30/shimano-reissues-a-legend-spd-sandals-back-to-celebrate-25-years-of-comfort-over-style/ Do it with socks, you can even go Dutch!

Trevz Posted July 1, 2020 Share When i saw "SPD Sandals" and opened this thread, i was getting ready to laugh....but once opening the link and seeing it, i think it is quite nice. Only for casual riding where you will be riding slow, perhaps with the little kids. Any aggressive / fast riding needs to be closed shoes. However, I don't think i would try it. I remember in BMX days i rode one day with plakkies and stubbed my toe on tarmac, nail was just clinging on and the pain was something else....since that day I'm scared to mix bicycles and sandals. Still traumatized. BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still traumatized. Surely you also got the BMX steel pedal designed by satan smack your shin? Usually happened when your foot slipped off the pedal resulting in an extremely fast back pedal with the result being the pedal with its steel spikes moering in to the shin. Good memories.... I could do with a pair of these sandles for when I am riding around with my laaities.... Trevz and BigDL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted July 1, 2020 Share Surely you also got the BMX steel pedal designed by satan smack your shin? Wellgo Beartraps. I wanted a pair more than I wanted my next breath. You can still get them. But truthfully they look a little kuk by modern standards. Edited July 1, 2020 by Duane_Bosch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut myself from ankle to knee once during my trials days. A pair of Vans just didn't grip all that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
