What do you wear?

I am currently using the Shimano SH-R220 heat mouldable ones and have had them for a year or so but after abusing them over the summer and winter I am looking to buy so shiny new ones for the summer.

Budget £150 approx and would prefer white (yes I know!!!!! :roll: )

    Specialized S-works. You'll definitely find 2009 models below your budget, but perhaps a 2010 set if you can haggle ?

    Buy a pair that fits you. Forget about the brand. Doesn't mean a thing if they hurt your feet. You do buy shoes that fit you correctly for your daily wear, don't you?? Why would you consider anything less in cycling wear? Although I did note that you are OCP, so I guess that it's ok to buy a pair that hurts your feet as long as they look good.

    I was looking at the SIDIs as my one year old cheap Shimanos are starting to show alarming signs of wear but they do really come up small, I am usually a 48 for other cycling shoes but a 48 in Sidis is more like a 46, really ridiculous sizing.

    I am probably going to buy some Specialized ones, because I know they are comfy, they fit well and they will last (got some mtb ones that look almost new after 2 years!). Both the BG Comp and BG Pro seem like good ones.
