My MT31's are 4 years old and finally giving up the ghost. They have done me well as a cheap and cheerful (£35) introduction to spd shoes and now I'm looking for a replacement. I've been looking at these:

[url= http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/specialized-bg-sport-mtb-shoe-black-red-id53046.html ]Spesh BG Sport[/url]
[url= http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/31766/Shimano_MTB_SPD_Shoes_MT42 ]Shimano MT42[/url]
[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=47518 ]Shimano AM51[/url]

What do people think, recommend or suggest please?

Cheers 🙂

sidi dominators.......bought a pair a couple of weeks ago after being a spesh bg fan since they 1st came out.
spesh are very comfy indeed...............but sidi's are at a higher level altogether.

Buy the ones that fit you best. Like you would with any shoes really.

Shimano m086 are great. As good as any carbon ones unless you're a serious racer

Shimano 'storm troopers' are good, very tough good looking shoe although if your concerned about weight or race then there a tad heavy at nearly a kilo. I have them and they are good shoes though, with a bit more 'toe rom' than other shimano shoes i've tried

Have to say the M161's are a bit marmite and the mo86 are a bit too bling for me.

The M123 is the same shoe as the M161 except for the colour and the ratchet strap.

M123's piss all over M086's.
