Wanted: Wanted - your stinking old cycle shoes

Has anyone out there got any crappy old cycle shoes that they don't want?
I need a pair (or two)in size UK9-US10-EU43.
I want to make some more conversions but where I have heaps of crappy old skate shoes I don't have any more cycling shoes.
Buy you a beer/trade/something for your troubles.
Thank you.

Oooh. Good plan.
If anyone has a spare pair of size 8's I need another pair for my second conversion.

@ Mack - Sorry to hijack your post.

i chucked out 6 pairs of my old shoes 2 weeks ago sorry

I've got a very old smelly pair of shimano cycling shoes you can have, they're just gathering dust in my flat. contact me on me email and we'll organise trade/drink thing. I'm a UK nine so they should be the right size for you

road shoes so not great for walking. but these are on their way to local charity shop or bin...yours if you want it.

size 43 i think. ill confirm when i get home. those pedals are gone* sht...dont even know what type cleats they'll take

Success! Thank you cornelius.

Thanks fatboyralph they wont take my cleats.
But thanks again.

MA3K,
Document the process (photos etc) so that we can check out your skills.
(Unless you are keeping it a secret :))

OK, that could be funny.

lol!

I have used up all my teenage enthusiasm/ambition/drive long ago :(

Have a pair of Nikes , heading shortly for the bin. Happy to give them a new home once I settle on my new pair.

MA3K: Do you want old socks as well? I have some.. you could do some rad arm-warmer conversions.. just free your mind! :-D

Might have a pair of Pearl Izumi MTB shoes - size 8.

Think if I still have them that the shoe plate has damaged threads. Will have a look tonight.

Provided Mack doesn't want them (As he weas asking for size 9s) I'd love them.
I've got the necessary metal plates, it's just the stiff drilled sole that I need for my etnies conversion.

hippy, maybe I could use some of your underpants for beanies too !!!

tomiskinky, ta but need size 9 UK, thanks though.

onemagicru, thanks for the offer, no rush, keep me posted.

All black. But they are in brand new condt (only used twice) so I kinda want £20 for em. Or make me an offer.

Thanks for the offer photoben but I am not going to butcher a pair of shoes with plenty of miles in them, that is a bit wasteful.
Thanks again.

photoben- what cleats are they running/ can they run?

They look like they will take any MTB cleat, buy them, great deal methinks.

sounds like a plan. Ben?

I have been tempted to do a conversion but never really sure where to start, whats the method?
Do the softer uppers give enough support for braking?

Just tie your shoe laces reeel tight, I haven't had any problems with my Etinies.
