Re: Road cycling shoes?

How should I know about shops in Canada?!
Sorry but this is pretty weird..

"classifieds" means second hand, he didn't talk about Canadian shops. Afaik, canadian shops only sell moose meat and maple syrup anyway.

Does anyone have any experiences or recommendations for cheap/entry level shoes? Getting into (road) cycling this summer and have not had much luck finding things second hand locally.
If you dont have unusual feet - which i guess you know if you do -, i wouldn't worry, just order cheap shoes your size that you like the look of. I've never had problems with bike shoes fitting me (obviously i buy them at the right size, but beyond that no problem).
I own 2 pairs of second hand Gaerne full carbon shoes, because i'm a cheap ass and liked the idea of buying second hand shoes to flex to my friends that my shoes are second hand (I'm weird like that). They're rigid AF.
This winter, i bought a pair of AliX winter shoes, the black ones with one boa dial and the tongue that covers the shoe. They're very soft, the sole is very flexy, and they're cheap. But they're quite warm so mission accomplished. Honestly, they're fine. If you're just entering the sport, dont worry too much about sole stiffness. The flexy ones feel much less dangerous to walk in stairs with, btw.
If you dont expect a 30$ shoe (with probably 15$ of shipping baked in the price) to perform the same as a $100, let alone 300 or 400 shoe, i dont think you'll be disappointed, assuming you have feet that fall in the belly of the bell curve.

How is the sizing on your Inbike LS compared to the chart they've got? I'm usually an EU Small for a slim (165cm 63kg) but their chart would put me at a medium.

Inbike gives fabric measurement, NOT body measurement. As the elastic and tight cycling clothes must be smaller than body measurements this it can be understood, that it might direcct you to a larger size.
THe roulette part of the game: the fabric masurement doesnt tell you whether it is very elastic and will stretch a lot.. or if it is rather rigid ..  ::)
This is a pretty good way to mess up with sizings.. :(
