Hendrik Petoors Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 The pics below are of the new Shimano M300 shoe. The review is published in Singletrack and was also mentioned in RIDE. You buy the shoe, they heat the innersole in a special oven. They place the inner in your shoe. You put the shoe on and they wrap your whole foot in a pastic bag. They suck out the air and VIOLA!!!!!! perfect fitting shoes. No need for wedges and other thingies to make the shoes work properly. Only available in their top range shoe but the technology will surely fiter down later for us "normal" fietsryers.
AndreZA Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 I know you get special innersoles like this already. Does the whole shoe or just the sole shape to your foot?
EdoardoBianchi Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Do you have to buy the Shimano oven, or can you use your existing one?
ShortLegs Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 The carbon sole forms to your foot. You can do it a couple of times according to Shimano. They look awesome, but no feedback yet in any of my cycling circles
Hendrik Petoors Posted June 26, 2007 Author Posted June 26, 2007 Selected shops will have the oven and vaccuum pumps at hand. Please do not take your bike with because the shops were notified that even if they just suspect you are a kempekker user they will use the setting "hot as hell" and cook your foot whilst ensconced in the comfy confines of the vaccuum bag. Mampara I think it is the sole only.Hendrik Petoors2007-06-26 07:48:09
Canaris Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 A mate of mine said that he was getting a pair. A shimano agent comes to you and bakes your feet for you. No nuking these babes in a microwave! No cold feet for you if you plan to get them.
ShortLegs Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Sigma cycles here in the UK has an oven in their shop. No Shimano agent required. Pretty expensive at ?180 squids a pop, eina!!!
