Wanted: Your old, smelly spd shoes 9-10.5 UK, 43-45 Euro

Wanted for convention inspired by MA3K's method but going in another direction.

So your falling apart shoes in the back of the cupboard are good. Size not too important but approximately in range above. Cheap as you like ideally something you're throwing away.

Can meet in central or S.E.

Thank you.

I haz- you want pick up?

Tommy, I've got some size 8's that I'll be throwing away. I can't promise they'll be smelly though ;)

What is 'the other direction' !?!

Wo hoo!

Thank you guys. I'm lazy so I'll grab Dammit's if that is ok as he is on my way home. When do you want to do this Dammit?

Hop thanks you for the offer, I'll grab Dammits because he is closer. I would never expect a lady of your stature to have anything other than beautiful smelling feet, it's only smelly boys' feet who smell.

MA3K, I'm going to do a light weight walking boot conversion for a winter boot / mtb boot style job like a DIY version of these.

Fucking weirdo.

A weirdo, a maverick, a revolutionary? I'll let history be my judge.

Thanks for those rocker.

One concern with the boots, though, is that they didn't have the stiff soles of cycling shoes, and plain tee nuts might pull through the sole in hard use. I made reinforcing insoles out of high-strength sheet steel roofing metal, and put the nuts through the steel insoles, spreading the load over a much wider area. If you don't feel up to that, just buy some stainless safety insoles from an industrial supplier like McMaster Carr Industrial Supply.

Wrong - use salvaged cycling shoe insoles or gtfo.

Do they HAVE to be smelly?

If you've done it right.

Tommy just give me a bell when you are in the area.

The shoes are Specialized, size 10 so they should fit pretty well.

@thebrick - no worries! would love to see how they turn out! best of luck

Excellent thank you Dammit!

If it works out well then I shall hunt out some brogues for you to convert so that I am prepared for the next tweed ride.

Coolio. I'll take some picture of the finished product.

Slightly off topic- can one get tweed vinyl?

do they really have to be smelly or even the non smelly ones will be considered ? :-)

The smell issue to to scare some people. it's more of a point of I don't mind if they are smelly, it bothers me not.

I have no idea about tweed vinyl.
