New Shoes...recommendations?

Harryburgundy · May 5, 2008

Decided its about time to replace my old Shimano spud boots.
Anyone have any recommendations...always thought Northwave were meant to be good?
I have quite broad feet, so nothing too slim-line

Cheers

Carl, try and get down to your local specialised dealer. They have a large selection of shoes, and also have this footbed-o-meter thing.
Helped me out no end, after i used to suffer from hot spots in the arches of my feet :evil: Basically it measures the arch of your foot, then recommends which wedges to use :!: I now use these in every pair of shoes i own.
Always try them on first though

I've brought shoes before on looks, off websites, and then when it comes to ridding with them thought,
i can't ride in these :roll:

Thanks mate, good advice. I'll have a look to find my nearest dealer.

I used to have a pair of Northwave terrae shoes, which were a little snug (I mistakenly thought the padding would give over time, it didn't

)

I now have a pair of Spesh BG Sport shoes & they are very very comfy, highly recommended.

Another vote for specialized, bg sports

have the comp road shoes and frankly prefer the velcro strap over the ratchet.

sidi!

cos when you watch eurosport and watch bettini chasing his shoes across the screen you'll be in the same club

Pearl izumi - nice wide toe box for the wide footed.

I really like pearl izumi kit, there shorts are a favourite, but I had one pair of shoes, the black bit turned green and the zip broke, they also weighed a ton.

DiaDora for me - Skorpion Carbon MTB in orange for offroad and grey for road!

Recommend Specialized deffo, I've got wide feet and a high instep. Fit like a glove

(Boom Boom) plus the BG thingy is very good.
