I know, I know, rule #whateveritis, but I plan on doing some long rides over winter in crap conditions on my fixed wheel and there will be times I have to get off and push. With this in mind I think it's sensible to move off the SPD-SL pedals/shoes combo and get something with a bit of grip on the sole.
Requirements are a pedal with a bit of a platform that the shoe actually engages with if possible and more road-like shoes than trainer-type 5:10's etc.
I currently wear Sidi Genius 5-fit on my road bike and they fit like a glove, but I don't know if I can afford the Eagles. I have an old pair of Specialized road shoes (first ones in the line to have a ratchet) and compared to the Sidi's they are very uncomfortable (even with the same inner-sole which actually came from the Specialized shoes).
So, what are you riding/do you suggest? Any ideas very gratefully received!
