I'll chime in.

Another pair of the old Fizik R1 shoes. Made from Kangaroo Nutsack leather. The best i have ever had.

[MarkGiardini]

Frankie..did you get from the site I linked you to?

[Frankie - B]

I think so, why?

[6to]

-Elite Arion parabolic roller (ditching my tacx flow turbo trainer)
-Vittoria extender for my bontrager's aeolus 3d 5
-zoggs predator (goggles)

[MarkGiardini]

I think so, why?

Just curious. I think planet x have sold like a thousand pairs of R1!

[Frankie - B]

Probably because they are a great shoe, but the price was just a tad to high for a shoe that was a tad to bland?

[MarkGiardini]

Not sure. I like the bland look

[Frankie - B]

Me too and I love the fit too death.

@ Frankie - B How is the fit on those compared to Shimano/Giro(assuming that you have used either of them!)? Have a pair of Giro Trans that have never quite agreed with me, and at that price those look really good...

[Frankie - B]

Having used Shimano R300's before these I'd say that these run a tad wider in the toe box. the inner sole is way better then the offering from shimano. Even when you don't flashfit it. The leather stays looking good and they say that it makes the shoe fir better to your feet.. (you need to polish that every once in a while)

I had a pair of the R1's. Loved the quality and materials used. The fit wasn't good for me, the arches seem very high and I was getting pain on longer rides.

[fanboy]

I was using S-Works previously. At the PX prices they are very compelling though...

[Frankie - B]

Yep, had pain in my feet as well. Untill i found out that i needed to relax my feet and not tighten all the muscles in them to control my motions. Once my feet were relaxed i was aa happy as larry.
