    Shimano R075 Road Shoe? I have a pair and use them for commuting and if I have to go out training when its pouring down.
    They are nice and comfy. Not the stiffest road shoe and the leather stretches a bit when it gets wet and makes the shoes quite squidgy and soft and the heal support is not very good.

    Other then that I have been happy with them but they are only really used in the worst conditions. I use Shimano R131 Road Shoes most days and they are awesome.. Supper stiff and very comfy

    yep those are the ones.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Think I'll go for the R099 as I know they're on sale somewhere.

    The basic Specialised are better, in my opinion.
    Same price as the Shimano, but a better fit and feel.

    I have a pair of R075 road shoes, too narrow for my feet, Spesh comp shoes I got as a repacement a much better fit. The moral is to try before you buy, as I learnt by my mistake..!

    I've got them, they're my first road shoe, no complaints but then I have nothing to base it on.

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    I wear Shimano R072, very comfortable and do the job. I do have narrow feet though.
