No, shoes do NOT come with cleats. Best bet is to find some SPD cleats on sale somewhere and stock up. While it might be cool (literally) to ride in sandals now and then, I really wonder about your intended use (having read your other post{s}). Just because the shoes you have now don't fit properly, doesn't mean you should avoid all shoes! I, for one, wouldn't feel too comfortable doing lengthy rides in sandals. All it takes is /one crash/... Bill "modify current shoes, or buy some new ones that actually fit your feet" S. |
