I think I need some new MTB shoes.

I currently wear Spesh Tahos. They have been great and I am seriously considering getting another pair unless you convince me to look at something else Smile

I'm after a similar type of shoe to what I already have. No idea of budget at the mo but I suppose anywhere from 0 to 70 would be OK.

Thoughts?

i got a pair of Northwave Expedition GTX RRP is £100 but wiggle do them for £80.

Kept my feet lovely & dry through them bogs at the weekend and unlike a lot of cycling specific shoes you can walk in them without any problems, which is great for me when I need to push uphill.

They look a good shoe Jez. I have a pair of Northwave shoes I bought last year but haven't worn yet, they look very similiar but don't have the goretex fabric.

I like these:

But Jez's ones are probably better value for money.

Shimano MT 52 - great shoes, comfortable and hard wearing

Thanks. Lots to think about.

Any shoes at the bottom end of my budget worth considering or should I not be looking at sub 70 quid shoes?
