There is a plastic section that folds over the point of the shoe up to the laces and then on each side of that is hockey skate toe material. I doubt even a lawn mower could damage the toe box of these shoes.intensified said:Those hemotomas look killer. Is that plastic near where your big toe goes?if so how well does it protect it?(your toe)?
If you can get a good deal I say go for it. Its good to have a shoe for when you might want to go clipless or for some road training ha. But no on the flats as said.FJ40 said:Hello, I was wondering if anyone simply uses platforms with the adidas hematomas. Are they sticky?
I am able to get a good deal on them but dont use clipless, and was wondering if they would be of any benefit.
Thanks
I dislodged a 150lb rock with the top of my left foot (mainly my big toe). I ripped the threads out of my crank and my toe was burning like a mofo but after about 5 mins I was up and walking. I didn't lose the nail, I didn't break the toe.. nothing - I love these shoes.intensified said:Those hemotomas look killer.

I had the same thing happen yesterday at N*. My toe is a LITTLE brusied, but that's about it. I was on Speed Control pedaling out of a turn and BAM! I love these shoes. The production shoes a armored in the WHOLE toebox not just the big toe like pre-production...Fury said:I dislodged a 150lb rock with the top of my left foot (mainly my big toe).

Velcro straps don't come unlaced and get caught in your chainguide at a NORBA National race after you have a run in with some bushes on the side of the trail, costing you 15 seconds to get everything fixed and, ultimately, the podium.2inthehole said:has anyone noticed that all these cycling shoes have velcrow straps instead of ties like all the special ED kids back in grade skool?...whats with that?...are they trying to make a point that we're "special" people/?? :eviltongu
Yeah but you will go through 3 pairs of Vans faster than one pair of Oakleys.mobius said:Intense shoes can't be found anymore as 5.10 has stopped making them. Oakley shoes look nice but 90 bucks it a tad bit ill stick to my 30 dollar XLT vans.
