I've managed to find a nice road bike 2nd hand and I'd like to try the look pedals that came with it, and a spare pare of cleats, to see if I like them, compared to the spd and crank bros pedals I've used in the past.
I've got two pairs of cycling shoes intended for 2 hole fitment cleats, and I don't want to shell out for road shoes and find out I hate them, but equally I don't want to buy more crank or spd pedals to replace the looks without trying them.

Besides the Heath-Robinson, has anyone done this before? Or even, is such a solution available comercially?

If you just want to try them out initially, do you have any cycling mates with a pair of shoes your size that you could borrow?

I'm a twinkle-toes at the best of times, (7.5), but non of my road-riding friends are local, and all wear canoes. 11-13's wink
I may be forced to whittle something out of ply as a prototype.

Hmm. Do you know any larger-footed lady cyclists?

Rather you asking than me, of course!

Unfortunately, even my wife wears a size 9, and she's scared of clipless pedals, oh for shame!
