Bike shoes - Which ones shall i buy?

[AndStilliRise]

I have been using a general no frills pair (~£70) from about 2 years ago, however managed to leave them at the sportive at the weekend whilst getting into my car. They were big, comfortable and looked like clogs!

Can anyone recommend me a pair please? Ideally to buy today. I usually use them to commute and to then weekend rides with, more speed is also welcome!

Thanks.

Right bought some, hopefully they will make me go faster. I lost mine yesterday so needed something immediately.

Yes, at £350, the lighter wallet will undoubtedly improve your power to weight ratio.

Thanks man, makes feel much better.

I couldn't get on with SIDI, way too narrow.

Fair play to blasting 350 quid on a pair of shoes you've not tried on though

I bought a size larger, to accommodate my flat, wide feet. And now it seems that the slight change means my bike is now uncomfortable. The seat seems to only have one sweet spot. Damn it! Going back to the shop to see what we can do, might mean we need to lift the seat again.

Somehow managed to get them to give me the right size shoes with an exchange. Phew!

Great news! Glad you didn't have to spend £700 on shoes ;-)

Same here. Getting used to them and the difference is amazing. Not that comfortable but maybe down to being new but definitely performance orientated.

Working on the fact that they need to be softened up.
