Looking to upgrade from my entry level boots I bought when I started.

Any recommendations?

Budget??

not too fussy but not keen on over the top carbon etc.

So around R2k

 

quite like the look of these : Sidi Dominator 5 Pro

Specialized is pricey but comfy.

Go for olympics for R600 they perfect, had mine for nearly 2 years now and no problems at all

if you have wide feet avoid the Specialized, my shoes split in front and they said it was because i should have bought the wider half size which they don't bring into SA, The carbon sole versions might be less prone to this as they flex less.

i had Sidi dominator 5's before, great shoes.

Ive got those. They've lasted a long time and are very comfy.

Have to agree - Over 5000km's done with mine and they are still doing the job!

Can't go wrong with Sidi's - best shoes I ever had

 

ASG has a special on, you can get the top of the range Dragon2 for around R2k - check the classifieds.

In Cape Town,

 

CWC have 3 pairs of dominators in strange sizes and no mega's

Mailed ASG and they say I must try John O'Conner's - just need to make a plan to get there.

 

Thaks for all the help.
