“Mixing street style with an SPD cleat means clipping in while cycling to work without having to change your shoes at the other end. KEEN’s Presidio Pedal has a recessed plate for the cleat, taking the trouble out of your postride strolls.” – FitSurgar’s Holiday Gift Guide for Cyclist

Presidio Pedal For Women Featured In FitSugar’s Holiday Gift Guide For Cyclist
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011Cycling Spokane Reviews KEEN Austin SPD Compatible Shoe
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011As a daily cyclist who appreciates clipless pedals, I’m always on the look out for “normal” looking SPD-compatible shoes. There seems to be no shortage of SPD compatible shoes in the world, but like Lycra, most SPD shoes do not blend well in casual non-bikey company.
The KEEN Austin hides its utility well in a normal looking and comfortable Oxford-style shoe that is fit for daily use on and off the bike. Like most KEEN shoes, the Austin has a distinctively wide toe box and a thick black rubber sole that wraps up over the front of the toe. The Austin’s muted tan color is officially called “Shitake.” Thankfully, there are no garish colors or overtly loud labels to distract from the quiet and unoffending design. In fact, the KEEN Austin may be the only boring looking shoe that is SPD compatible. But boring is a huge win in this category, and in the end, the Austin blends well with a wide range of casual clothing and performs reasonably well on the bike too.
