    After making the change from mountain bike style/tour shoes to Keo cleats I am overall very happy with the benefits of the much stiffer carbon sole.

    but…

    I used to like to have a walk about at my destination town.

    Cleat covers are not enough in this instance.

    So… I have been looking for ultra lightweight shoes that I could change into.. I don’t know if a cyclist speciffic shoes is actually out there ? Nearest thing that seems to fint the bill are Trampoline shoes or Beach ‘skin shoes’… The former I can’t find in UK size 11 … Also Timberland make a folding shoe that zips closed intended for back packers (but its far too heavy)

    I guess what im looking for is a cloth shoe with a light mesh upper.. Some rubber on the ball and ankle… something that could be rolled up and stuffed in a spare bottle cage ?

    Maybe you all use flip flops ?

     

    Where should I be looking 🙂 cheers !

    I vote for Chaco sandals.

    I vote for Chaco sandals.  They are not ultra-light nor are they cycling specific, but they are great for walking around in.  I will leave it up to you as to whether or not you wear your socks with them.
