Recommend me some shoes...

cgraley77 · February 2017

In the market for some CX-orientated shoes and was hoping for some god suggestions. Currently using my old road shoes which are ideal during any sort of dismounting, and similarly are not very mud/waterproof. Ideally would like some with a slight recess for the Shimano mtb cleat and some level of waterproofness. Aesthetically pleasing is also a plus!

Budget £60-80/90

Any suggestions gratefully received!

If you want waterproof/warm I do all of my commuting and winter cross training wearing Shimano MW5 winter boots.

I have Shimano XC51N.

They are pretty weatherproof as they have no mesh and they take spikes for muddy run ups.

What Chris said, the XC(number)N are very good shoes.

Here's my take on the XC50N.

XC51N are prettier overall. Not a lot of stock around of them now, so you will have to google.

I have xc31 Shimnao shoes and I've been really pleased with them.

Thanks all - some good food for thought. XC51N in particular look very aligned to what I need and are fairly attractive to boot! The search begins...
