Morning All!
I’m on/been on the hunt for a new pair of MTB for a few weeks now.
I’ve tried on –
Mavic’s which were too tight around the toes and the next size up was too big.
SIDI’s had a similar fit.
Bontrager’s were pretty good although the front of my feet felt ‘lost’ in them.
Shimano, I tried a pair of tri shoes on with were ok but the shop didn’t have MTB in stock.
Specialized were good and i’ve bought a pair of S-Works with the BOA dials, I try to avoid velcro straps as I tend to pull them quite tight so the strap stretches over time. My feet are quite narrow. Now i’m a couple of rides in to the Specialized’s i’m just not getting on with them so i’m going to have to take the hit and sell them and continue my hunt for shoes.
Ones I have not tried are Northwave’s, Diadora and Gaerne (which are pretty expensive, though i’ll pay for the right shoe)
Any other brands/recommendations you have?
I’m practically travelling the length if the M4 tomorrow from South West Wales to Surrey so any good MTB shoe shops to visit?
