  1. I have a low priced pair of Shimano shoes I keep in the car for after work rides. They seemed to
    have lost two sizes by sitting in the hot car all day. Has anybody else ever had this problem? I'm
    going to take them to the shoe repair store to see if they can stretch them out.

    They have been wet too from rainy commutes, but never stored in the hot car when wet.

  2. Your post caught my eye. I have a very expensive pair of Sidi Genius 4 shoes that I'd swear are
    shrinking. We just moved out into the country and my bike stuff is stored in an out-building that
    gets VERY hot on these sunny afternoons. Hmmmm. Maybe it's not my imagination after all.

    P.S. Lets try some shoe trees and meet back here to see if they help. "Jim Edwards"

    Your feet might be growing. Or rather expanding. Checked your size at the shoe store lately?

  4. If the Shimano shoes are made of leather, they are probably shrinking. See
    www.runnersworld.com/home/0,1300,1-152-153-1691,00.html or www.shoebuy.com/sb/s.jsp?Style=8296 for a
    possible solutions.
