Had my spd-sl's for a week now, first clipless shoes/pedals. Pretty happy with the power transfer, efficiency etc but walking in them is more of a problem than I thought it would be. Using my bike for food shops etc is a pain now, because I have to take a spare set of shoes everywhere.
Also clipping can be a nightmare on hills, but I know I will get used to it eventually.
Starting to think I should sell and go for spds but the shoes I have (sidi genius 5) are carbon sole and pretty stiff, where as the mtb shoes im looking at (sidi dominators) arent carbon sole.
Is there a huge difference between the two soles, will I notice a huge difference between the two systems?
Cheers.
