this is like a tarck type 1 failure
“i have a problem”
“here is the perfect solution”
“no”

tarck type 2 failure is
“i have a problem”
“here is an unrelated solution that won’t help you”
“…”

what i don’t get is why you’d want a lace up shoe if you’re tightening boas multiple times per ride. that seems like the opposite thing you’d want!

Lets be real, sandals are not the actual perfect solution

haha i know…i think it’s funny though!

I’m tightening boas multiple times per ride because the boas are failing, not because of changing conditions or whatever

oh i wrongly assumed this was a tightening because the feets were compressing, which is what happens to me

yeah sometimes everything “settles” 30 mins or an hour into a ride and I do a little tightening

curious to see what legitimate reccs float up for OP however

never owned knit cycling shoes but IME knit running shoes are WAY hotter than your typical thin upper

Interesting, the things I’ve read about knit cycling shoes is that they’re much more breathable than others, but max ventilation is really what I’m looking for, not necessarily knit.

Maybe they’re more breathable but it’s like wearing a big thick sock… I find them hot as hell. They also soak up a ton of water but probably not a prob in LA.

Imagine in LA they just let in a frog ton of dirt/dust/schmutz

All my shit dusty as hell

specialized recon adv or s-works recon lace perhaps?

Or the Recon 1.0 with velcro straps. No Boa to break?

You got it backwards

In the market for some new road shoes.

After wearing barefoot shoes for many years my toes have spread out and my feet no longer fit comfortably in my old shoes (Adidas - size -13 US, Euro 48).

I’ve gone up a size and need a wide toe box. Is there anything in normie cycling shoes that I could actually order through and try on at a shop before buying or do I have to roll the dice with Lake or Bont or whatever? It seems like in the bigger sizes companies just kind of stop giving a fuck.
