Hi there

Not sure if i'm being a total numb nuts, but I cannot work out how to 'release' the strap on my new purchase of Shimano RD86 SPD shoes......

According to the review: "The unobtrusive, tidy tightening lever and quick-release button on the top strap is gloved-finger friendly and easily operated with one hand."

Well, I cannot work it out for the life of me!!! how in gods name do I release the strap?? Any help appreciated cos i'm stuck!!!

Cheers

Andy
