    I'm looking to get a pair of Shimano Road Shoes RP9 or maybe R321.

    Does anyone know a bike store (Dublin/Kildare) that offers Shimano Custom Fit Molding with pressure bags etc...?

    Aside: There's a couple of posts on here from 2010 discussing the process.

    Can't answer your specific query. But you can get Spiuk shoes that you mold yourself using the oven. IIRC, you heat them at very low heat for about 30 min, then wear them on the bike immediately.

    Have the R260's. Have them with about a year, couldn't find anyone in the country who did the Shimano specific molding. Bodged it myself, blasted them one at a time with a heat gun, popped my foot into one of those vaccuum storage bags and swiftly duck taped it closed while a helper attached the hoover. Worked fine.
    Sidenote: Ditched the Shimano insoles for Specialized BG Footbeds.

    Bing have a similar offering and are supposed to be very good. Been contemplating a set myself.

    I have the Spiuk ones. They fit fine without the heat molding. Just as well, cos I had visions of them melting in the oven, down through the rack, and pooling out the bottom of the over door. What a mess that would be.
