After hearing about CrankBrothers Shoe Shields<\/a> from my friend Erik I decided to give them a try. There is a fair bit of wear on my shoes (photo<\/a>) from the Eggbeater pedals that I use and these thin metal plates should head this off and keep the shoes functional for even longer. Priced at $10.99\/pair (at the local ACF<\/a>) it wasn’t worth trying to make my own, as I don’t have a ready source of stainless steel nor an easy way to make similar cuts.<\/p>\n

When the replacement pedals (Eggbeater SLs – photo<\/a>) for my failed Eggbeater MXRs<\/a> arrived today I decided that while fitting them to the bike I’d also replace the cleats and fit the Shoe Shields. While new pedals and cleats will normally feel a bit nicer, the addition of the Shoe Shields and their smoothing out the bottom of the shoe to better-than-new condition made clipping and unclipping during a test ride feel wonderful. While I imagine they’ll stand up to wear, it’ll be interesting to see just how long they last.<\/p>\n
