need new ones. Any recomendations/ alternatives to purpose made over priced ones?

TK Maxx

This gets asked daily – put ‘flat shoes’ in the forum search and you’ll find loads of advice.

Shimano AM40’s get my vote – not over priced in my mind as they’re so good.

Skate shoes from TK Maxx usually get the alternative low cost vote

+1 neninja on all counts.

i picked up some air walk skate shoes from TK Max today. Should have been £65 (allegedly), paid £20.
They are a bit blingy in white so a walk in the woods before riding might be in order to dull em up a bit.

and AM40s are gone I think, can’t find anywhere selling a 43/44.

rockhopper70 – Might be worth a call to http://www.farnhamcycles.co.uk/Shop/p/20031-shimano-trail-leisure-shoe-am40-flat-sole-shoes/ or http://www.dalescycles.com/productdetails.asp?productid=55217

The AM41 is very similar to the AM40 but looks gash

cheers for the heads up.

i got some nice black etnies at tk maxx last week to replace my ancient and tatty vans rowley XL2s. i’d have got another pair of those, but they don’t make em any more…

just bought AM41s from Merlin £60.26 cheers folks

5-10 impacts. Not cheap but they are good.
