Does anybody know if they have less grip than normal shoes?
I have just bought an ex racer that has these on and found he was a bit slidy on the road in them. They havent got road nails in them either.
Didnt know if it was him, the road or the shoes?
Thanks

They're not as broad. My (ex racer) is shod all the time with them because he just pulls normal shoes off all the time. The plates fit flush to the foot so there's nothing to stand on. He's had them on for about 8 months now and hasn't had a problem with slipping!
