LukeV-2 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Best Place to buy mtb shoes? Racing quality. Online or at the LBS? Chain Reaction? Buycycle? Got a connection in the US. Any good online stores delivering in america? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belhammel Posted April 6, 2011 Share LBS. Get a proper fitting pair which won't cause blisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted April 6, 2011 Share If you are 100% sure of sizing then order and save. On R1500 shoes you might save R300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeV-2 Posted April 6, 2011 Share What i was thinking of doing is finding a few options on the net, and then going to the lbs and trying them on, then ordering the ones i fancied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 6, 2011 Share just beware the 40% import duty on shoes/clothing - before VAT is levied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeV-2 Posted April 6, 2011 Share ^^^^ That is such a kick in the nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 6, 2011 Share makes perfect business sense though... buy local for shoes. with something like that, you can't really order from a catalogue due to the sizing issues, unless you have tried on the exact same pair.

Tubeless Posted April 9, 2011 Share What i was thinking of doing is finding a few options on the net, and then going to the lbs and trying them on, then ordering the ones i fancied. I will be pissed off if I was the shop owner. And dont come afterwords and tell me I was more expensive. If your intention was to buy from overseas, then stay out of my shop. Its like stealing in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the MTB version of my Shimano road shoes and I had to go 2 sizes up. I refuse to wear a size 46 shoe (like women not wearing big sizes) and bought the correct size in another brand.
