Smaller size spd shoes for spinning?

porker33

I have looked through the sites for smaller size spd shoes.

Ideally looking for ladies size 3, but all the bike stores only seem to list size 5 and above.

I am sure childrens spd would fit, but cannot find any.

Then again, I assume with health and safety kids are not allowed to have their feet clipped in?

Any help appreciated.
cheers.





(p..s) No my feet are not that small!

Cheers, but all seem too big!

the ebay link is for a 4 and apparently stuffing newspaper down the toes is not an option...wimmin! :roll:

Thanks Brains......FFS read the question correctly before answering, that way you don't waste peoples time reading your pointless response! :roll:

I know the guys at Westbrook, having bought 2 bikes from them and have spoken to them.

The link you posted shows shoes which start at size 36.

As I mentioned the requirement is for a uk size 3 which everyone knows is a 35..

Which in case you are not aware is different and in fact smaller than size 36...Which also means a size 36 would be too large and a waste of money!

So as you so eloquently put it "FFS".......

sungod

isn't eu size 35 to 36 same as uk 3?

cycling shoe size advice is usually to go up by up to one size, so if you are a 3 in a normal shoe i'd think you'd be ok with a 36 in some models, 35 in others

they *do* have both these sizes in stock at chain reaction on the link i gave you...

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=45997 35, pricey though

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=46686 36

there are more 36, but that's the only 35 i think

you need to try some on though, i'm a mens 11, but some road shoes fit me at 46, some i need larger, there's a fair bit of variation by model

Sungod,

Tks for the 35 size link.

It makes sense, trying them is the only way.

You are right they are pricey, but to be honest I couldn't let her buy them,....anyone who wears Sidi shoes for a spin class, would just look a little over eager!

Does she really need spin shoes ? I used to have a pair as I teach spin but I found them very restricting - cant run or use the other cross training machines with them properly.

I find it much easier spinning in some cross training shoes to be honest. OK its not 100% efficient - but I dont think thats the issue. And clips and straps were OK for decades so for a 45 minute class - I can cope with them.

cougie, I appreciate your thoughts, but who knows?

Apparently the latest injury was to do with foot not fitting inside the pedal trap correctly, where I suggested spd shoes.

i did spin for about 12 years and found spd a great help, particularly if you used a lighter shoe than conventional outdoor mtb shoes

My thoughts, the spd's may be worth a shot?

cheers

/quote]I am a size 4 1/2 and generally wear a 37 or 38 in normal shoes. I have three pairs of Specialized cycling shoes, all of which are EU39 (~size 6) so I agree that you really need to try them on.
