SPD Sandals

['Kaze Pete]

Shimano reissues a legend, SPD sandals back to celebrate 25 years of comfort over style!

Not sure it is ideal winter wear for where I stay, but if you love your crocks /sandals for the free air flow they provide, why not go retro on your MTB?

Do it with socks, you can even go Dutch!

The thought of smashing those open toes on some rocks...

I have a pair, they are great for summer casual riding, Don't forget the sunblock on yer feet though!

I once retrofitted a dying pair of diadora into spd sandals.

 

It didn't work

[Jewbacca]

I'd definitely bang.

 

Summer gravel riding bliss!

When i saw "SPD Sandals" and opened this thread, i was getting ready to laugh....but once opening the link and seeing it, i think it is quite nice. Only for casual riding where you will be riding slow, perhaps with the little kids. Any aggressive / fast riding needs to be closed shoes. However, I don't think i would try it.

 

I remember in BMX days i rode one day with plakkies and stubbed my toe on tarmac, nail was just clinging on and the pain was something else....since that day I'm scared to mix bicycles and sandals. Still traumatized.

Not for me, thank you

Thank God Minister Patel banned their sale in South Africa!

The man has vision,......viva ANC viva

When you need to sprint for a coffee on your Schwinn cruiser.

Surely you also got the BMX steel pedal designed by satan smack your shin? Usually happened when your foot slipped off the pedal resulting in an extremely fast back pedal with the result being the pedal with its steel spikes moering in to the shin. Good memories....

 

I could do with a pair of these sandles for when I am riding around with my laaities....

Wellgo Beartraps. I wanted a pair more than I wanted my next breath. You can still get them. But truthfully they look a little kuk by modern standards.

Ugly as sin.

I cut myself from ankle to knee once during my trials days. A pair of Vans just didn't grip all that well.
