[Closed] SPD trainers - recommendations

DZR, but don’t expect to get a long lifespan from them if you do major mileage walking - flexing the stiff shank for pedalling will eventually snap it. Occasionally appear discounted - SportPursuit & online cycle shops.

I got a pair of Specialized Cadet's from Rutland when they were £15.  Unless your close enough to read the specialized logo they just look like any other running shoe (wouldn't want to try running in them, bu they're at least softer than normal SPD shoes).

That. I picked up a couple of pairs in the sale for the school run (push my bike to school whilst walking the kids, then ride a couple of miles to work)

No had any myself, but I think the Giro Rumble VR looks decent and could be the sort of thing your after.

I've had a set of Chrome Kursks for a few years and really like them. I've got the mid rise ones but they do normal ones too. The sole is stiff so they're still a little spoddy to walk in but they do the job nicely.
