Ain't they cute? End to end like this, they are probably about as long as some of the shoes in the big shells at CYC. The only way we could mitigate that problem was by wearing cheapo water shoes to widen our feet enough to make their velcro shoe ties hold us in. I'll be drilling holes in our footpads to bolt these in. Pictures forthcoming this weekend.
You can't tell from this shot, but the shoes have thinnish soles with holes in them for bolting into various "foot stretchers." Bike shoes are built to stay on the feet and click off the pedal. Rowing shoes are built to stay on the stretchers in the boat and have your feet come loose. We will be putting a lace on that joins the velcro shoe straps - in distress, I think you grab these and pull. I probably should get clarity on this! ;-)
I'm taking Friday off again this week to make a 4-day weekend this time. Rain from Fay should be done and forecast looks good for lots o' rowin'!
