Hello Patrick, Glad you found an improved solution for your clip&strap pedals. My Adidas 5-10s are comfortable but too wide for clips/straps. I've been searching for a shoe with less width and noticed Specialized 2FOs also come in a flat sole model. Would you consider measuring the widest part of your 2FOs and posting the dimension? At your convenience of course.
Thanks very much for your help!
