Hey guys,
I’ve created a DIY clip System that can be used to create clipped shoes out of your favourite sneakers. I was part owner of a business that built out custom shoes but decided to move on to the diy route since it’s way cheaper for the customer. Let me know what you guys think about this. Photo below for reference.

That looks pretty cool actually. What I would like to know is how it affects the sneaker. Is it still comfortabele to walk on? And is the sneaker stiff enough to use with a clip?
Have been waiting for something like this for a long time. Reach out if you intend on doing a sample run, super interested in learning more about how it is done

Do you reinforce the sole? If not, they look like they’d be a soft mess when pedaling
Is there not already a brand that makes these or sells shoes with the built-in clips?
A few thoughts…
– First, Velosambas exist.
– Second, why are the spd clips recessed so deep?
– Third, if this is intended for people to cut up regular cheap shoes, how will the sole thickness be accounted for?
– Fourth, how will you maintain the structural stability of the donor shoes if 20% of them are cut out of the bottom?
– Fifth, how are you going to deal with the inevitable jackass that punches a hole through an air cushioned shoe like an air zoom sole?
– Sixth, how is water resistance maintained?
– Seventh, how will you manage feathering wear at the cut edges?
– Eighth, do you expect consumers to make the cuts themselves? (They’ll fuck it up)
– Ninth, did you consider any of these factors, or do you just live in fantasy land of Internet clout and bad ideas?
Or chrome industries

Way cool. I just bought some Keen sandals and was thinking “I wish I could add an SPD cleat setup to these sandals.” Keen used to make them….but stopped for some reason. 🙁
Now do this with a pair of Heelies.
I was thinking of doing the same to my NB numeric trainers earlier for a casual look when potting about
