Shimano Custom Fit shoes - is Adelaide fitting available?

According to the Shimano dealer locator (which I'm assuming is correct), no-one in Adelaide has fitting facilities for Shimano CF shoes, although quite a few sell them.

I'll ring around some of the larger local bike stores, but I thought I'd ask whether anyone on the forum has any further information on local fitting. Otherwise, it's something to do when I'm next in Melbourne!

Thanks in advance for any info you can offer.

I got some R315's from Super Elliots in town and although they didnt have the facilities on site, I got the impression that for a cost they would be able to have a shimano rep or someone similar come with the goodies.

I might be wrong here, but seem to remember when I was in Bicycle Express a while ago I overheard them telling someone they could fit the Shimano shoes there, worth giving them a call perhaps.

You are correct....I was hunting around for shoes about a month ago, and Bicycle Express said they could provide the custom fit option :)

excellent. I will be paying them a visit.

Hey Visitant, did you have any luck finding an LBS to custom fit your shoes?

Yeah, sorry. I contacted Shimano, and as others have said, Bicycle Express is the only place to go in Adelaide.

I haven't made an appointment yet (a Christmas holiday task!), so I'm not sure how much they charge for the service. I imagine it would be more than if you buy the shoes directly from BE.

Thanks, I am estimating around $70-100 for them to custom fit them. But I think it will be worth it. I don't think the savings buying from BE would as good as what I saved getting them online.

Agreed. The Shimano rep did emphasise that you should ring ahead to make an appointment.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll do that. Cheers
