meh, that Shimano shoe is ugly in my opinion. i’ve done a lot of research into “casual” clipless shoes and very few appeal to me from an aesthetic or fashion perspective. That’s why I did this modification, to “have my cake and eat it too” so to speak.

since people keep trying to suggest off-the-shelf shoes though, perhaps I will put together a buyers’ guide of what’s out there for folks who are looking for something like this but don’t want to roll their own.

I know some people just have to have fashion sneakers, but the new entry-level shimano commuter shoe is the best looking clipless shoe to date.

a buddy of mine and myself had talked about contacting a local shoe guy about something along these lines. with this tutorial I think I’ll just go for it myself!

awesome stuff. maybe some ‘shoe goo’ to provide more of a combined sole/prevent the rubber from peeling back?

SO COOL!
I tried to do this once with a piece of sheet metal rather than the road shoe sole like you did, it was a total failure. Good thinking recycling the sole. I’m all about it.

Thank you “prettyboy,” your mate Frag’s shelltoes were one of the inspirations for this mod. I saw them on the Candycranks site (http://www.candycranks.com/archives/3030) but the pictures you linked above are much more informative. The next pair of shoes I make will be shelltoes like Frag’s, since they have a better arch and the rubber toe cap probably deals with wind chill better.

Nice post, it’s good of you to explain how to do it. Lots of people ask me how to do it or are impressed when they see them.
A mate of mine did them for me but is not really interested in doing them for people.
Do you mind if I put this post on my links page for the greater good of humanity?
Have a look at my shell toes if you’re interested.
