Mtn Biking shoe poll

[derstuka]

Trying to see what everybody is using, and what their experience has been. I used to use Diadora, but for the last year I have been using Pearl Izumi - Vagabond II's. I actually have had good luck with them. I am thinking of getting a pair of Sidi's though, not the 250.00+ top of the line, but a lesser model.

Also, does everybody use SPD cleats, which would mean that you have SPD pedals?

Specialized. They're VERY comfortable, I really like them.

Before that: Northwave - which I LOVED, but they were completely worn out - had them for years, switched to the Specialized because I got a good deal for them.

You dont have either of these on your poll. :-)

Sorry, it would not let me add anymore to the poll than I currently loaded. In fact, I had to delete one (Cannondale) and re-submit it again.

What model Specialized do you have? How long have you had them?

In my opinion, Sidis are the best-fitting, most durable shoes money can buy. Had a pair of Dominators for about three years now, still going strong. Love these shoes. As for cleats, I have Eggbeaters, dunno if that helps with anything :ne_nau:

I am currently wearing the Nike Alpin III. I have tried Sidi and Shimano shoes and I am really happy with the Alpin's they are a great fit and I love the ventilation and the abuse they have taken and they still look new.

I am Using 661 nuevo there a 2004-2005 model, Great shoes, they were more of and entry level shoe but they are very durable and well put together. This is my first set of MTB shoes I have used them with BMX pedals , SPD's (shimonno and Wellgo) and now with the Crankbrothers I am using Crankbrothers Mallet C's. The Crankbros are by far my favorite they are very easy for me to clip out of. I always had a hard time clipping out of the Shimano PD-M424 and an even harder time out of the Wellgo ones.

I have those exact ones in the picture, (except last year's model) but I dont remember the actual name of the model, sorry. I cant afford Sidis, I know people swear by them although I've never even tried a pair on, but these are a really great, more affordable, alternative, I'd say.

(I use Time pedals)

Just this season I switched to Azonic A-frame pedals (no more spd) and bought Five.Ten impact shoes, They have been awsome.

Eggbeaters ftw. sweet pedals, not if you really want to feel something under your feet though. But I guess that's why they have the mallet, candy. dunno what them are like.
