SURVEY - Tell us about your road shoes

I think there was a question missing, so added the comment "Yup - I can get off the bike and walk in them, they would be no use otherwise!"

I use the bike to go explore, can't explore if I can't get off and walk, pretty obvious need, really unless you're in a race.

Personally I don't want to walk into my local cafe/tea shop and ruin thier nice floor with my cycling shoes!

I'd expect to get sacked if I put that out and I don't work for anywhere like as corporate as Specialized.

I did put the free text area to good use to tell you how fragile the Boa dials have been on my S-Works road shoes. I go through at least two pairs of dials a year.

They're not going to learn a lot from that survey.  Having said that, I did another poorly thought-out survey on water bottles the other day clearly compiled by someone who'd never ridden a bike with a water bottle.  Keep it up Road.cc.  How about quality testing the survery before you ask us to take part?

Have you looked at the 5 10 freerider eps, also in mid/high.  Ugly as hell, but insulated and more weather resistant than standard.

Re winter shoes - please can you research the market for waterproof flat pedal shoes? Am I the only gravel rider riding flats in the winter? There are plenty of SPD options but none of them are truly compatible or secure for riding on a wet flat pedal, even with aggressive pins.

Far too limited and pretty pointless, this will tell you nothing important because of the overly simplistic questions and answer options.

Can I recommend adding in some options about requirements e.g. winter shoes, wide-fitting etc.

Done.

Survey limited my respones slightly, would have ticked 4 of the 5 'why do you ride' boxes if I could.

Have just seen the new more affordable Torch Shoes with 4 different colour schemes, where were they when I was buying my last pair of shoes!

Keep it up Specialized, nice to have colour options at the cheaper end of the range
