Based on past recommendations seen here on the list, I've tried and enjoyed
Addidas Sambas and Virtuvian running shoes. For the past two weeks, I've
pedaled
in something new and really like it for free footed pedaling. Patagonia
"Boaris"
shoes. These are pigskin based (Boar-is, get it? Ugh) and quite sturdy, while
still light. Roomy toe box and not too wide heel (avoids crank arm rub that
some
running shoes give) and a firm (but not solid stiff) Vibram sole. It's this
last
feature that works for me on rides over 50 miles, especially when cranking up
hills a lot. The centers of my arches can get sore from a long hard day on the
pedals and these soles are firm enough for support, but flexible enough to
avoid
being confining.
I got a pair in a discontinued color (that is pretty close to my Saluki's
"Linda
Blair Green" color. Style points, eh?) for cheap at Rue LaLa, but you can
Google
and find them lot's of places at discount.
Tailwinds.
