@ markshires – I think it’s a luck of the draw thing with Aldi/Lidl cycling shoes, it probably depend on which batch / Style of shoe you have, I’ve had one good pair and one Duff pair, I’d put it down to their suppliers probably cutting costs on adhesives, does make me thik twice about buying another pair, I probably would get another pair of the Silver/black XC type ones, I’ll steer clear of the others though…
I suppose it’s worth mentioiing that the ones I killed in two rides were ridden in muddy, Damp conditions and theat seems to have just destroyed the adhesive, but the Silver jobbies have seen lots of mixed conditions, by now they’ve been saturated with sweat, grit and water…
I have been looking at some basic £30 Decathlon shoes the other day, as I will need some “Trainer-esq” SPD style shoes soon to replace current pair. and while I’m drawn towads some Shimano AM45, for half the money I can get a basic shoe that would probably last quite a while and weigh about the same…
