MTB shoes

[ilovequo]

Any good recommendations on MTB footwear?
Riding mucky/muddy trails and getting shoes ruined...
Need a rubbery/muckproof cheap shoe to rinse off at the end of the day!

5 - 10 Freerider Elements are what I've used for the last couple of years. They look a bit filthy now but underneath they are pretty much as good as new. Stick to pedals like crap on a blanket too!

Not cheap though but a worthwhile investment.

I'm assuming flats?

I have a pair of Spesh Tahoe shoes I got a couple of years ago for about £75 new. Take abuse pretty well, easy to clean and the cleats are recessed within the tread so you can walk on them fine - in fact, if I commute into work I wear them and then wear them all day in the office (jeans and t-shirt are normal office 'uniform'). If they didn't have the cleats I'd probably be happy to wear them as normal walking shoes/trainers.
