Egg beater wearin down shoe soles

[Joseph Jozwik]

Hello, Anyone have this problem with the egg beater wearing
to lines from where the bars grip into the shoe? Does this
cause your shoe to seize to function eventually. Any ideas
Thanks Joe

There is a bunch of "scaring" (some deep gouges) on my
shoes. No ideas on how to correct the problem, aside from
technique?

I love the pedals so I can deal with replacing the shoes
every two seasons or so.

I think this is a common issue. Crank Bros now supplies
plastic shims that lift the cleat up so the treads do not
have to be cut down .. maybe that will help. all mine have
this deep groove... but it can only go so deep before the
shoe rests on the axel.

If someone calls Crank Bros to ask about this... please post
the results of the call. charlie

I went from Time to Egg Beaters recent;y so the jury is
still out. One thing I Noticed straightaway, though, is that
the Times are more comfortable since they have a larger area
on which the foot is contacting the pedal. Even with minimal
sole flex in my Sidi's, I can feel the difference.

I may end up going back. Time will tell (haha).

My first (and only) clipless pedals have been Time. I liked
them so much, I decided to stay with them. I was tempted to
try the Egg Beaters.
