I currently have the Terraduros, which have been great (if a tad heavy).

I could replace like-with-like but always good to consider others. Needs to be spd, not super fussed about fully waterproof but ratchets/BOAs would be preferable over just velcro.

Fizik Terra X5, very happy with them, an excellent shoe with plenty of colours to choose from.
Not a million miles away from the Terradura.
It's mid range too so movement up or down will give more or fewer features, depending on your preference.
I had the M4Bs before & they were an excellent shoe too.

I've been really pleased with my Shimano ME7 which I believe are quite similar to the Terraduros, lighter though. Unfortunately for the updated version Shimano are using a wider last which doesn't suit my narrow feet at all, dunno what I'll get next when these ones give up

yeah, the ME7s look possible... I'll see if I can find somewhere local who stocks them

Only if you get in quick - they have stopped making them 🙁

I'm probably going to try these next:

I had my Terraduros in HV model, so will prob get the same for cylinders.

Just got some Giro Ventana’s, I think they are supposed to be the replacement for the Terradura. Got the boa and a Velcro strap and very pleased with them so far.

they are not warm, nor are they narrow.

My Terraduros broke one the straps and spares seem to be non-existent in Europe. While waiting for Wiggle warranty (eventually they refused claim which happened to made to exactly 2 years later to date of ordering, for shoes which have 2 year warranty) I tried shoes I could find locally.
Current Specialized shoes have good rubber soles on many models but I tried all of them and all had some fit issue around ankle and malleous.
Shimano feel quite ok but past experiences haven't been that great, when the shoes are broken in they don't have enough side support on toe area.

I'm still looking for replacement shoes but Sidi straps fit into Giro fittings with small trimming.

Terraduro are now hens teeth in most sizes and some comedians want £149 !
I have worn out my HV's and am fairly desperate.
Thought I had cracked it with Giro Division shoes. These have the ratchet which I want.
The same shoe but with an inner ankle protection
The ****ing ratchet strap does not reach the ****in' ratchet

SO I'm looking also!

Fat feet , don't want laces. suggestions?

Is it 2 years? The soles split on mine after 18 months, checked the Giro website. thought it said 1 year. So I didn't bother going back to Wiggle.

I actually have some Giro Cylinders for my roadie. They fit well and the BOA is great but for MTB I want something less stiff, and with a grippier sole.

The Ventanas look ideal though.
