Can you attach cleats to boots?
I got these bad ass Frye boots today. They don't fit in my toe-clips
all that well though. They have a bit of a heel on them, so there's some room where I might be able to bolt a cleat. I've never had a pair of clipless pedals before. Is it possible to attach the cleats to the bottom of a shoe not specifically meant for the purpose? http://tinyurl.com/288unf |

Just use some rubber block pedals like the rest of the world uses. Alternately some mtb platforms. |

Original Shimano shoes used a separate plate inside, to which the cleats bolted. With a drill and a craft knife you could do the same thing, although whether the soles are stiff enough for effective cycling is your shout. |

In article , "Tom \"Johnny
Sunset\" Sherman" says... I wish these were SPD compatible: http://www.sorel.com/Product.aspx?top=1&cat=120&prod=49. Foot retention is necessary with a BB above seat level, and not being able to keep my feet warm is by far the limiting factor for me in cold weather riding. Should be very simple to convert those to SPDs. T-nuts through stainless safety insoles inside the shoe, Look-to-SPD adapter on the outside, use a router to smooth the tread off the sole. -- is Joshua Putnam http://www.phred.org/~josh/ Braze your own bicycle frames.
