Road Shoes - Mavic

[timujin]

Hi,

Does anyone have any experiences with the Mavic Huez (2011 - 2012) Road shoe... They advertise it as a the climbers dream, why would a climber need a really light shoe??

Thanks,
Timujin

Colnagodram rides Mavic shoes...as for why a climber needs a light shoe...well, for lightness, no point having a 6.8kg bike with the lightest wheels only to ride in welly boots!

Ha Ha Thanks... I guess I could do with the lightness, but not sure it going to help my 95kg up a steep hill!!!!

Ehhhhhh....well saving of 50g over the next pair of shoes will make you go uphill quite a ....oh who am I kidding...

Also make sure you trim your toenails really close and scrub off any hard skin from you feet, that'll save a gramme or two! Or try squeezing into a shoe one size smaller?

Then only wear thin short socks.
