Shame

Mmmm, tempting as I have size 4 feet. I ride in lightweight walking shoes on flat (ordinary) pedals as I'm too much of a klutz to try anything else. But if I can use these as walking shoes as well and don't have to fit cleats, may be worth considering.

Need to find someplace to try some on in store first.

Sigma - free delivery, free returns, easy

Alas, I'm the sort of person who prefers to poke and prod before ordering LOL...

Reviews all say they come up small / narrow on the sizing, and I have fairly wide plates of meat. Hence the above.

I see there are a few places in Cambridge that appear to stock them, and as I'm heading that way next week, I'll have the chance to try on.

Thanks vickster, very kind of you to think of me. I am tempted. A girl can never have too many pairs of shoes right?

A good reduction on these Shimano XC50 mtb shoes from Halfods.

Cheers, ordered these, came next day, my first pair with ratchets, they look really good

I bought a pair too, the ratchet lets you set the tightness just right, I was impressed with the free quick delivery.

I read a review describing them as "Darth Vader" like, but they are nothing of the sort

Indeed. Much more stormtrooper!

These turned up at work today. Although I haven't tried them on yet, the quality is excellent.

I also got a pair of the winter cycling liner gloves and am really impressed. They are almost identical to the Planet X365 race gloves, that are my favourite gloves, perfect for 5-15 deg temps.

I'll be shopping at Polaris again.

Thanks for the heads up, I ordered some bib shorts. Look good, can't wait to try out on Thursday.

Got mine yesterday, cheers.
Great quality and but really loose around the lower thighs, so will have to go back unfortunately. Shame as I've hardly got skinny legs.

The liner gloves I also got are excellent though.

Mine fitted fine but it really is a lottery buying bibs - time there was a set of standard sizing dimensions that retailers / manufacturers had to comply and which included torso length.

It's just one of those things, first time I've had it with bib shorts though. Fit elsewhere was pretty spot on and the quality appeared good.
