In a few weeks I want to switch to bike shoes and clipless pedals. Andrew at NYC Velo said to come back after 80-100 miles - once I'm more comfortable on the bike. I've started looking around to see what I can find. I think I want to get Sidi shoes. They make a cool women's tri shoe. L has a similar one that she brought in and showed me today. I like the colors, I know, I know that can't be the only reason I buy something- but it is important - sort of! I think getting a tri specific shoe might be better than just a road shoe- but other than the fact that the shoe dries quickly and can be worn without socks, I'm not sure what other differences there are. Then once I get the shoe I have to pick a pedal. They showed me so many at the store, I couldn't decide. Maybe I'll ge the egg beaters or the lollipops? There are so many decisions to be made with this whole thing - it's actually kind of fun.

i have sidi shoes and i love them -- they fit like a glove. mine are plain old road shoes -- not really sure it's worth the additional $$ for tri-specific so i would go with whatever fits best at the best price point. one thing to note -- sidi tend to work best if you have narrow feet so if you have wide feet or any problems like bunions, etc., they might not work for you.
