My Ti is in the UK and I will collect soon.

Wife might buy me some boots for Christmas: http://www.cheltenham-canoes.co.uk/prod ... neer-2.htm

Are the footstraps on the Mirage Drive adjustable so as to take slightly chunkier footwear?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I wear men's sizes 11-12 and always wear my Crocs, perhaps the clunkiest shoe on the market, while on my AI. It is the only boat on which I wear shoes. I find pedaling more comfortable with the Crocs.

I do have them on the biggest setting, and they are adequate, but without a lot of room to spare.

I also have Crocs - a bit cold in the UK outside of best of the summer!
Many thanks!

Hi Julian.

That shoe looks like it would be too clunky to fit in the Mirage Drive peddles.

During the cooler months, I will begin wearing my new Vibram FiveFinger FLOWs.

During the warmer months, I had a great success with the Vibram FiveFinger KSOs.

Julian, If the shoes are too big, just remove the pedal straps. No bid deal.

Do whatever makes your feet feel good. High-heel stilettos are not recommended though. 8)
