To whom this might concern,

Hello!

Can these shoes be used with DMR V12s, i.e. flat pedals without clips'n'cleats?

Do they require any additional 'flat plates' to be used in place of the specific pedal's locking mechanism on the bottom of the shoe?

Thank you,

Steve.

They could be used with ordinary pedals but I don't think you would keep you feet on them without straps as the sole is deeply sculptured,very rugged and is made of hard plastic. A softer sole that allows the pedal surface to bite into the sole to give more grip would be preferable in my opinion. I don't know of a different plate to fit to the sole.

I guess they could be but the sole is fairly hard and so will not be all that grippy.

No; the cleats are well recessed so will not interfere with flat pedals.
Note that the sole is not smooth so I would not use these with toeclips if I wanted to be sure of releasing my foot!

These shoes require cleats and clip in pedals in order to keep a secure footing on the pedal. Flat pedals would not provide enough grip with these shoes.

You will need to check what sort of cleat is used on the spin bike before you purchase but generally spin bikes use 2 bolt cleat compatible pedals so you should be fine.

This doesn't pose a problem - I've got shimano pedals with a clip on flat side, and they work fine with them. Obviously, vigourous effort on the flat side will result in slippage, but the large tread lugs help here.

Not really, as they're very stiff and have hard soles, so you might end up slipping off the pedals.

Probably better to go for a pair of the more casual spd trainers, which will be more flexible and have softer soles.

I'd probabably see yes - but the design with the cleat is for that purpose and pedal.

You'd probably find the shoe slipping off and unsafe with out a cleat fitting pedal.

Just my opinion.

SPD pedals have cleats that fix to the shoes with two flush mount bolts. These shoes are compatible with these. If you have SPD SL, the cleats require three bolts that are not allowed for with the slot arrangement on these shoes.

Hi. How wide are the soles at the ball of the foot?

I really need to know how wide these shoes are across the broadest point of the sole on a pair of 11s (46). Bought Shimano M086s and had to sell. Gutted. Anything aroud the 10.5cm mark would be music to my ears.

Thanks

answer 1

By now you should be hearing a violin playing. I bought the 46 and my foot across the broadest point is just short of 11cm. My normal size is 45.

measuring the sole doesn't really work as the sole is quite narrow but the upper is much wider.

You're in luck! I've got that size shoe and I've just measured them especially for you... I make them around 10.0cm at the widest point.

Measuring the widest point of the shoes the insole is 95mm, the outside edge of the shoe is 105mm.

Like most MTB shoes, dhb is a little tight on the width. However, if you are a normal fit, then probably normal size applies. I have both wide feet and use gortex socks, so have now gone one size up which is much more comfortable (and will be warmer in the winter).

Question

Shoe/Pedal combination for commuting on a road bike

Hi, I was thinking of combining these with Shimano DX M647 Pedals (popup SPD's with a flat cage).

I have a road bike that I use only for commuting and this will be a first time out for clipless pedals.
Some parts of my journey involve weaving through traffic and quick getaways from lights.
So I want to be able to ride without clipping in for a bit and to be able to pushing through tight spaces with one foot on the ground.
Is the grip is on the soles of suitable on greasy tarmack? I read in one review that they are plasticy. Also would they work fir on an SPD pedal with a surrounding cage?

Thanks

As a keen Motorcyclist, the majority of use on road with the occasional track days, I have also raced Moto X so feel that I have a good perspective on what is required.
In my experience having bought these as a fairly newbie to clip-less pedals, I find them to hard and slippery when clambering over rocks and tree stumps etc.
So I feel that these are not suited to slippery roads and I would plump for a rubber sole.

Yes, the soles of the shoe are very hard plastic/rubber although they do provide a reasonable amount of grip. I've slipped many times on rocks etc.

I run them on the exact same pedals that you are looking at (M647's) and there is no bother at all. The cage has no affect on the cleats and sit raised above the plastic cage.

answer 3

I used these shoes on a caged SPD pedal like these and had no issues at all with clipping in. I did find that the grip on the sole of the shoe wasn't soft enough to properly grip the flat section of the pedal but it felt safe enough to pull away from lights in traffic.
I very rarely had any issues with walking in the M1 shoes, the grips on the sole are 'plasticy' but I never felt like I didn't have enough grip for the surface I was on other than during the snow earlier this year.
