I’m doing a fair amount of pushing and carrying my bike up lake district mountains.
My shimano m087 xc type shoes aren’t particularly stable or grippy (narrow sole with lumpy grips) when hiking up, and the toe box is not well protected from flying rocks kicked up on the way down.
I wear with waterproof socks so feet are comfy, and I like how quickly the shoes dry out as well vented.
What alternatives do people use? I like the idea of hiking boot style but can only find shimano xm9 in my size.
Anyone got these? Do they get sweaty in warm weather? Take ages to dry out?
Anything else out there? I need a 43 or 44
