Hi all, birthday present to myself is some new tri shoes. I'm currently surrounded by a number of different sizes of the two shoes and have a good fit in either.
I was able to pick up the Fizik's for a great price and have a good line on professional modification of the Giro's to make both shoes functionally the same. Once all is said and done the Giro's with elastic laces, a bit of custom paint and heel grabs will run me about £60 more than the Fiziks. My wife, who (to her own admission) knows nothing about bike shoes, says 'thats fucking stupid' when she saw the Giro's and the laces. I'm leaning towards the Fizik's given the construction and comfort as well as they'll end up being cheaper and seem a bit more comfortable without socks. I also like the idea of riding the stock shoe and if something happens I can get a warranty replacement, modified Giro's I'm out of luck. Though with the Giro's I'd have some custom shoes.... and well.. thats cool.
Thoughts from anyone who has been looking at these shoes?
