I've been tempted by SPDs for a while, but always preferred to do my riding on both road and MTB with flats and (on road at least) toeclips. However, yesterday's fun at Cannock made me think more seriously about being attached to my bike in a way that was less easy for me to slip off the pedals, so my thoughts turned to SPDs again.
Big question though, just how much difference is there between shoes at the cheaper end of the market (think last year's Shimano MT21s) and something that's a bit newer (like the Mavic Alpine All mountain jobs)? I know you usually get what you pay for, but would the difference between a more expensive pair of shoes be that noticeable?
