Wanted: To make or buy SPD sandals (small)

Wanted: To make or buy SPD sandals (small)

I have fairly small feet and I am thinking about summer riding. Usually I have just worn Teva
(velcro fabric straps) sandals while riding. This year I prefer to wear clipless sandals.

Is there a place to start looking for small size SPD sandals at a reasonable price? ( women's 6
/ youth 4)

Is this the type of thing that I may be able to convert (stiff soles, exacto knife and
perseverance)?

HostelShoppe.com carries a 37-38 (Women's 6.5-7) in Shimano SPD pedals. Since sandals are more
forgiving than shoes, it might work...?

Thanks. My current shoes -running shoe style Shimano 39 -skateboard running shoe 40

You can also find them at this store: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/penncycl...-758-0104.html
That said, I found Hostel Shoppe to be very good for mail order.

Temp unlurk. I always used to enjoy riding my Vision R50 USS w/ sandals until I experienced front
wheel/foot interference on a tight turn. Took my big toe-nail right off. Ouch. Now I only use
riding shoes.
