dth656, you might have better luck using separate shoes, or moving to stiffer soles on both. Road shoes tend to benefit greatly from stiffer soles, flex in the sole can lead soreness when riding long distances. If you're having knee issues, one of the best solutions is a set of Speedplay X-series pedals. I played soccer, surfed and snow boarded for years and have wonky knees, but Speedplays keep my knees happy. They have 35 degrees of float, and a little horizontal float too. It would require using separate shoes for road and mtb, but for many reasons, this makes more sense. Shoes are a more personal thing, so try a lot and find what works. After years with Sidis, I've found that my feet seem to really prefer the newer Specialized shoes.
