Looking for a loan of shoes

    Long shot request......! My son is due to do the Kelly sportif this weekend and has outgrown his shoes. I ordered a new pair with Wiggle on 13th thinking this would be in plenty of time but as of this mornings post, they have still not yet arrived. Short of shelling out for another new pair locally, I'm trying to track down a loan of a pair, and I guess it has to be fairly local to me in the SE. So, any chance that anyone has a pair of SPD compatible shoes available for this weekend, in size 43 or 44(if Shimano/tight)....?

    Thanks

    Are you in Dublin? I can lend you a pair as I won't be needing them this weekend. Size 44 of these http://www.kingbarcelona.com/en/catlike-scheme-orange-mtb-shoes-p-4463.html?manufacturers_id=113

    you'd need to call to collect from dublin 15.

    Edit: I see you are in Waterford... I guess that's a non runner then...!

    Thanks for the offer.Are they SPD compatible? In any case, I'll not be able to avail of it unless we can find a middle-man heading to the Kelly sportif in Dungarvan this weekend who can collect......?

    I have shimano 43 shoes I use for mountain biking. I'll probably be going through Waterford on the way down to sign on tomorrow night.

    SORTED!

    I rang around a few guys and sourced a pair from a guy I used to work with. Nice Sidi 44s, so all is set for Sunday.

    Many thanks for the offers on here. The cycling community is such that I knew I'd get offers and you guys didnt disappoint - hope I can return the karma at some stage.
