Just got this from our friends at Mock Orange Bikes:
“We have just been alerted by Shimano that in their warehouse there is a surplus of a fully heat moldable road cycling shoe called the R160. This is a shoe that was originally intended for European distribution only, but is now available in most sizes in the US via Shimano shoe dealers for limited time. A picture of the shoe is attached to this mailing. We will be bringing select sizes in for stock and will be offering this fully moldable shoe for a price of $180, including the custom heat molding process. That is a savings of $100 when compared to what has up to this point been the most affordable heat moldable Shimano shoe. We will be stocking these shoes, but on a limited basis because they will not be around for a long period of time. If you would like to be double certain that we bring in your size, we will be taking special orders until noon on Thursday. A 50% deposit is required for special orders. If you are in need of some road shoes this is a great opportunity!”
