I've finally convinced my wife she should try clipless pedals. Can any of you fine ladies recommend a shoe that isn't ridiculously fugly? She'd like a clipless-compatible shoe that you can also walk around in.

Something maybe like this shimano shoe but more feminine. Basically, a skate shoe with a cleat.


Thanks!

Maybe these?
Cannondale
or Pearl Izumi's
or these (not women's specific, but I don't run women's specific shoes and haven't had a problem).

That's good to know since every women's shoe suggested is too small. She's tall (5-10) and has big feet, size 11, though she might fit a 10.5. She might just have to wear fugly shoes....

taho is not WSD, either. I love mine, has just the right kind of sticky sole, cleats are recessed enough so that if you walk around in them they don't click on the floor.

Does she need a women's shoe? I just go w/ the 661 skate looking shoe.

I use some 661 shoes for DHing that look similar...I can't remember what the name of them is but they're about 5 years old.

Taho has a designs for women model also.
Just, fyi.

Whatever you do, don't get her these... I wore these for Midnight Madness last Saturday. By mile 18, I was hating life. Worst. Cycling. Shoes. Ever.

(it was a "I-wear-bike-clothes-to-the-office-so-I-need to-wear-office-clothes-on-the-bike" kind of moment...)

I should forward that picture to her. She'd love it. How many times did you bust your ass walking around?
