This time around I used a high strength epoxy that I picked up at the local hardware store. The tread pattern is also different than last time(tread blocks are not connected to each other and a strip of tread was placed in the middle of the shoe to help avoid damage to the carbon fiber.
After gluing the tread blocks I coated the bottom and toe of the shoe with a layer of epoxy to protect the carbon from damage. The final result was a shoe that was lighter than the first prototype weaighing in at 642g for the pai w/o cleats. I will be testing the shoes over the next month here in Durango and I will post an update later.
Hopefully this prototype will work other wise I will be leaving the shoes as road shoes.
