Sub £50 SPD shoes?

DanDax1990

Hi guys, Gonna give SPD's a go for the first time, Looking at buying some cheap shoes that will last me until I work out if SPD's are for me or not.

Advice about budget shoes is muchly welcomed, The cheaper the better aslong as they're a decent enough pair.

I'm a size UK 10 by the way.

Have a look in sports direct, they do muddyfox ones for around £20 sometimes

I bought a pair of these recently. Quite light and comfy but they're quite thin so don't keep your feet particularly warm.

Look out for DHB shoes in the sale (normally 10% off).

I got a £20ish pair from Sports Direct (Muddy Fox) and been fine as a 'starter' pair. Done upto 30 odd mile with no probs

The only things will mention on this topic is do not base too much of your perception of the combo on the shoes themselves. I have found most cheap shoes to be extremely uncomfortable, and I could imagine it would be off putting if someone is the same as me.

I have the dhb shoes: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-m10-mountai ... ling-shoe/ and found them comfortable. Also have the road version of the dhb shoe.

The Muddy Fox shoes have a very flexible sole which defeats the main benefit of clipless. However, if you are only intending to see if you like clipless £20 is not a bad option.

Decathlon often have offers on shoes.....

Shimano M077 for me, 2 years 4000 miles and still look like new.

Anyone had/has those Mavic? I like the look of them.

Had tem over a year as has a mate - sling them in washing machine when battered and come out lie new - super stiff sole and very comfortable - buy a size larger than normal and you won't regret it! I paid £70 when I had them, at £40 its a total bargain!

Brilliant price! I have them too and have had absolutely no problems in the last year and a bit with them! They just feel a tad heavy.

I've got the DHB M1s and Lake MX85s and happy with them, bought them cause of the velcro strap fastenings though the next pair I buy will have a ratchet strap as I have to retighten the straps after the first few miles.
