I finally caved in and bought my first pair of serious road
shoes today, Specialized Pro Carbon in beautiful black,
with that sensuous carbon weave on the sole. It's the
most I've ever paid for a piece of clothing in my life, and
I feel like Imelda Marcos
A couple of interesting things came up, though:
- They list here for $399, and I got them for $340 thanks to
the BikeSA discount. The usual UK sites were hardly any
cheaper, and even though they sell for $200 (about AUD$265)
in the US I couldn't find a source there (including Specialized itself)
that would ship them here. Maybe their distribution licence prevents
it.
- Specialized sells them in half sizes (44.5, 45, 45.5 etc), but
none of the online shops or the local distributors carries them.
Strange. Luckily 45 was a good fit.
