[Closed] XC shoes

I have a pair of [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=8512 ]these fellas[/url], personally I really like Sidi shoes for both fit and quality. My Sidi Road shoes are over ten years old and MTB shoes must be 3-4 years old and still going strong.

Discontinued 🙁

These seem ok and are about what i want to spend, any good?

Yeah thanks DS but a bit hard to justify that much dosh for how often i will use them.

Any thoughts on the Shimano ones? Or shall i keep trawling the sales:)

Afraid not as I'm a confirmed Sidi user.

I had a pair of those shimano M230s, for the price they are really good, i used them for 4 or 5 yrs for trail riding and racing alike. Quite stiff, as they're a carbon sole, but not as stiff as an M320. Only issue i ever had was breaking a buckle in a crash, took a while to get a replacement.

I also had mine custom fitted, which was worth the £25 it cost, a lot more support and increased comfort.

Thanks pinches, gonna take the plunge!
