I am looking for a new pair of shoes and am looking to spend around £100. There are some reasonable deals left on 2012 stock and am looking at Bont A Threes

Does anyone have experience of either of these or any other recommendations in that price bracket?

If you're open to SPDs, then these come recommended, they're very comfortable, plenty of scope to adjust your foot position and you can actually walk in them! They also look like road shoes, which I like...

...my first pair were DHB's but found them cramped in the toe box which got noticable on longer rides...
..when I was buying the Spesh's, I tried on and failed with Mavics, Louis Garneau and Shimano..all for the same reason, the toe thing...probably just my feet (used to have the same issue with running shoes...)
Red one,
Black one.
Giro's are available from here for just over £100.

I hear that Italian shoes, Sidi, Giro can be a little narrow fitting generally? A great deal on the Giros...

Generally, the difference in stiffness between non carbon soled shoes and carbon soled shoes is very obvious. From the moment you clip in.

They came out top on a Cycling Plus review of shoes last year and i can vouch for their build, stiffness and fit. A very good shoe and not had a single problem with mine. They look the part too.
Take your pick from these, superb value:

Same sole, different ratchets. Apply NYSAVE10 for an extra 10 per cent off.
I used to think that to justify why I paid extra for carbon soles, I still ride with them but wont buy another pair, spesh comps are far more comfortable, there is such a thing as too stiff, marketing hype.
