  • Was so close to buy a pair of republics LX (genuine leather), but then I read that the pads are in the way for pedals like A600 which is what I have on one bike.
    Should I get them anyway and cut away at the pads?
    Are there any alternatives in the same price range? I want laces and real leather.

  • I've got a pair of giro SPD shoes, I can't remember which ones I'm afraid, but they have the replaceable pads, a bit like a pair of dragons.

    I had to cut the pad down in the end as they would let the cleats engage with the pedals. It was a massive pain the arse to be honest and nobody would acknowledge the problem, (Evans or Giro)

    I wouldn't buy any Giro shoes again

  • I've had republics for about 3 years and use them on A600
    No trouble, I bought a spare set of pads and haven't put them on yet but have lost a couple of bolts, so I replaced them.
    Laces wore out after a bout 3 years
