The Firstgear 'mesh low' shoes were on my short list,,,

I need to add I'm already 'fully equipped' with winter/Waterproof boots. I'm also a fair-weather rider who typically stays within a days ride of home. Very seldom do I get caught in the rain.

What I need ~now~ is something for HOT HOT HOT weather. The fairing keeps a lot of the air off ya,,, Excellent in winter, but 'a little more breeze' would be nice in triple digit heat,,, My feet tend to catch 'some' air with the mini-boards tilted down, so I'm hoping mesh will help my toes/feet shed some body heat,,,

The TCX's eventually got the nod over the Firstgears as they appear to have more mesh, larger ankle / arch protection areas, and better ankle support.

Elroy,,, 26 y.o., 6-1,, 250???? Why,,, you're just a svelte young man!!! I'm 6-0 and haven't seen the 200's since 19somethingorother!! LOL!!

Either you're calling me fat and bragging about your thinness, or warning me of my future Thanks for the info Scot!

Well to update this thread, took the plunge and ordered the Kury mini-boards w/ the comfort drop. Going to tilt the boards forward and see how the clearance is. Ideally I'd like to install the boards with a standard adapter to get back that 3/4" from the drops but we'll see if the clearance will allow for that. Figured I'd try this configuration before getting a board/heel-toe setup and/or buying new footwear. If I can run with the standards I'll be sure to post the comfort drops to the classifieds.

Thanks everyone for their input!
