IceCreamMan Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Nice, I've just taken mine to get modded, they seem built for shorter, narrower bikes, my bike doesn't fit on its own and definitely won't with side by side with another.Takes my 2 road bikes no problem, takes our 2 MTB bikes no problem. Not made for 29 ers according to my research though. Bikes are XL or L . Wife’s MTB a medium.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 What pedals are you using? Reason I ask is that the cleat box is very shallow. So when used with Shimano spd pedals (5.10 Maltese Falcon with Shimano XT Trail pedals) the shoe does not make any contact with the pedal - only contact point is the cleat/spd interface meaning all the pressure is pushed through the one point leading to numbness. I made the switch to Cranbros Mallet E pedals - they have interchangeable pads next to the cleat interface which raises the contact point and giving the shoes a contact point on the pedal body which spreads the weight load and solves the numbness issue for me. I don't know if the shallow cleat mount is an issue on shoes other than the Maltese Falcon, but serious oversight from 5.10 IMO. Pretty much means that the shoes are not compatible with Shimano pedals. I am using a set of flats, the Spank Oozy trails. so I am not clipped in and would expect to have even pressure over a larger area. Not just the "clip-box" for lack of a better word.The square pressure makes me believe this box has somehow separated from the sole, but I have not removed the cover at the bottom as once it is removed, well that's it and I don't plan on riding clipped in, ever. That's because there's a metal plate of approximately the same size of the cutout, that is in the sole of the shoe. That's what you're feeling. It's embedded in the sole, but it's still there. It's where almost all teh pressure between the pedal and your foot is going to, and as stiff as the rubber of the sole is at that point, you're always going to feel it. Which is also why some MTB shoes have full length plastic / carbon soles. So that the pressure is along the whole shoe as opposed to a small section. Mallets / DX pedals and all the ones with pins and / or adjustable cages will allay this, to some extent. On 520's or XT trail pedals, you'll DEFINITELY feel it. See above.......

See above.......Maybe the fact that it's a different density to the rest of the sole, and it's affecting you due to that? Rest of the sole deforming juuust enough to make it protrude, even if it's a fraction of a millimetre? Edited September 18, 2018 by Cptmayhem Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1

See above....... Why's you buy clipless shoes then? I think that box is seperate from the sole. If I were you I'd try swing those shoes and buy some Freeriders that are made for flats.
