 | Best MTB shoes for road biking OK, i think we need to have a discussion about cheap-ish mtb shoes for road cycling, my old pair which have lasted me for abotu 2 years have now got so many holes in them, but the main reason why i am replacing them is the fact that the sole is very bendy thus i get really bad hot spots so under £90 whats a good shoe? |

| | @SP - i can hardly justify £150 seeing as im 15 and i will grow out of them . . . hence why im asking for under £100 shoes @harvey - no there not, im commuting 10 miles a day and on top going for a ride on the weekends. with flats i get pain in ankle and center of foot, i think i know whats best for me, its my choice where to spend cash :@ oh fucking hell i can see where this threads going, better go start a new thread for serious responses actually i might as well head over to bike radar |

 | Mavic Razor - Same as the Avenir road shoe, but with MTB treads and MTB Cleat fittings - 90 quid http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=...title&resnum=4  |

 | Rocker9455 If you're spending £90 or £100 on shoes you may aswell just get Sidi's - Wiggle do them for like £125. If you are certain you're still growing just get a half size too big and if you don't grow into them use an insole or something. I'm pretty sure I've still got the same size feet as I did when I was your age. |

 | What is the best shoe for a completely different activity for the one I want to do. I intend to start a thread called, "what is the best welly for breakdancing". Shimano RT51 are a road shoe for £50 that look like they will do fine for road and MTB in all seriousness. |

 | I got Mavic Razors much cheaper than £90. Wiggle, I think it was. They were nice, but didn't quite suit the shape of my foot. Well made, and worth considering, but FFS, go to a shop and try some stuff on first (and even that only gives an indication of whether they'll be comfy in the long run). |

 | most of the Gaerne shoes on Chainreactioncycles are on sale at the moment and they look pretty solid. as mentioned before, Sidis are great. i bought a pair of old stock on ebay for £30 which fit very nicely. some sizes are more readily available than others, though. |

| | But Adidas have now been rebadged as Mavic, which, as we've already seen, may be comfy for Ed whilst he's getting his miles in between Calthorpe St and Condor, but irritated my instep and little toe on the more modest century and track rides I was doing when I bought them.

some specialized BG insoles and footbed thingys put a swift end to all the foot problems I've been having for the last two years. High arches you see. | |
