I wear size 11 shoes. I've been trying out different shoe (Vans, Patagonia Bagley, Teva sandle) and different pedals (MKS sneaker, MKS touring, GK). All work just fine for rides up to 60 miles or so. I think part of the problem on this ride was that for the first 45 miles I was riding at a good clip. And there was the long climb and some rollers which I tend to ride in the big ring and standing. My feet started to hurt right where the little traction nubs are on the pedal. But when I finally took a 15 minute or so break at one of the controls they felt much better and didn't bother me again.
I have no problem using SPDs I just really like using regular shoes. I definitely won't be using 700x35 tires again for a brevet unless it includes lengthy sections of gravel. Jack Brown Greens served me well this year, I'll either continue to use them or maybe go back to Paselas (32s) and just watch the sidewalls closely. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
