The Pahrump Temps are almost exactly like the Xero shoes I had been looking at.
How do they hold up over time for riding?

i have a pair of the bedrock sandals, and while i dont really like them
(that same thong issue justin mentioned), and find them too flimsy for my
personal biking foot preference, they are awesome for throwing in a pack.
weigh nothing, can roll up or go super flat.

I have Keen Newport H2's and Chaco Z1's. Chacos seem to have a little
stiffer sole and more open-air feel but I prefer riding with the Keens. I
like the toe protection even if it is only psychological since I can't
remember ever scraping a toe on the ground riding. I may try the Chacos
Keen's for me too! No cleats. I've worn them on brevets although once I get to
300k I've found my achilles ache so I wear Keen or Teva shoes on longer rides.
The added bonus with the Keen sandals is the very cool stripey suntan you get
on your feet!

Another like for Keen Newport H2 and Keen Clearwater CNX. The Newport is
more robust and has a stiff sole, but the sole flares more than the
Clearwater and sometimes rubs the chain stay. I wear the Newport most of
the time for 9 to 10 months of the year. The Clearwater I have are black

Keen Newport - I have a couple pairs of the leather variety. I wear them
year round except for in the deep snow, which we don't get very often here
in the DC Metro area. If it gets a bit cold I just throw varying levels of
smartwool socks on, enduring the groans of my wife and daughters. I love my
Oh, I do so love to write about shoes.
It's all about Keen sandals. I have three kinds and love them all. You will
love the Newport H2, Venice H2, or the Clearwater CNX. The CNX is the lowest
profile, makes a more natural connection between your foot and the ground, and
I don't find them
I remove the pins from one side of the pedals, and the VP Vice is then a
wonderful barefoot pedal. I wear Zem Terra's when I wear shoes (for either
temp or terrain protection, unless it's less than 20˚F, then it's Sorrel's).

I've gone the "minimal" route these days. I just got a hankerin' for
walking barefoot and soon it became apparent the shoes I had now just felt
so oddly stiff I couldn't wear them anymore ! Fortunately they do make
shoes that are as minimal in structure as possible, basically nylon
I wore the keen sandles all last year. They were wonderful. That was the only
shoe I took to ragbrai. Wore them all day riding and all night partying. Can't
wait for it to warm up in Michigan so I can break them out.

Been wearing waterproof Keens with MKS touring pedals and they are working well.
They are wide and comfortable for my wide feet.
Though they look bulky they don't feel heavy and no heel strike on chain stays.

I love my Chacos. I prefer the ones without the big toe loop so I can wear
them with or without socks. They have a heel strap and it works entirely
with a friction-slide buckle, so no velcro to wear out or snap buckle to
break. I love the fact that I can loosen them all the way and step into

I love riding in Birkenstocks, the Arizona (that has no rear strap). They
don't come off while riding, mostly because feet don't do very much while

Dansko sandals for every day (though I'm not sure they make a men's

bought about 7 years ago and haven't been able to part with, especially
