hey guys, fwiw, my ice-skate feet, 13A, are probably perfect for these
shoes - I can spread my toes, and my Merrells are like an RV for my feet.
Fit may be more critical for someone with wide feet.

Everyone who makes footwear has to start somewhere and the foot shape they
design from, their last, instantly culls potential customers. They step
onto the slippery slope of strategizing who their buyers are. Runners know

You’re right, of course, Ron. I was referring specifically to the pair of shoes

has no ability to make a shoe that fits me. The Mamnicks
Not entirely true about the foot binding - Totally Depends on the foot and
buying the Proper Size, but the front end shape helps with clip/strap
ingress.
Mamnick and several other classic shoe makers will take you through foot
measurements for your custom fit.

Aye, Garth. Softstars are great, but I can’t wear them for a few reasons. My
wife and daughters swear by them though. I am trying a pair (or will on Friday
when I get them) of Vivo Barefoot’s Ra IIs. My winter shoes are Xero Shoes’
Coalton, upsized 2 sizes. I was going to try Lem Shoes, but
I know you related in passed about ot being able to wear Sofstar shoes, but
I'll offer this as an example of a wonderful fot shaped shoe. I bought these
sight unseen and while my fot does not fill out the whole outer toe area as of
now, this does not affect walking in them. My 14 measures
Garth nailed it, Patrick. A key tenet of minimalist footwear is it is foot
shaped. Those are modern foot binding devices. My forefoot is 4.5” wide. Pre
barefoot, it was a bit over 3” wide.

As with all of the so-called cycling shoes, they all seem to have the same ol
same ol pointy toe shape which does not resemble a foot in the least.
Funny thing is, there is no reason for squishing the toes together other than
to conform to a made-up "standard" of shoe design that has no sense
Fwiw I ride with Vice with sandals, Crocs Scutes slides to be exact. I
also wear SoftStar Primal shoes these days, but they are bit too thin for
midfoot long term comfort. Just as walking feels goofy with Crocs, too thin of
shoes midfoot is a litte too thin for me. The Crocs, regardless of
I'm going to step up once more with a recommendation for Blackspire
pedals.
On their website, you'll find a $22 (Canadian) rebuild service.
That entire cost is the return International Priority shipping from Canada
($16 US), and last time I sent them pedals, had them back in one week.
Also I have a set of SR SP-457 pedals you are welcome to. They are a double
sided pedal that can take Power Grips or Hold Fast straps. They are cup and
cone and good bit larger than a Sylvan. I can send a comparison pic but can't
seem to from my phone...

I have used both. Now, I don't do off road fixed gear riding but.based
on your goal to keep things simple and knowing the good natured, punishment
your bike(s) endure, I would say the Hold Fast are a better option.
IME the Power Grips have more parts (to fail and lose) and are also a bit
