Hey girls

 

I've been shopping around for a pair of new mtb shoes.

I am looking for something that's comfortable...

any advice??

What size?

I've got a brand new pair of Specialized shoes. My wife never started cycling.

41 or size 7 South african size :)

I have Northwaves and I love them but I don't know if you can still get them in South Africa.

Most of my friends have Olympics because they are good value for money. I think you can get them at Sportsmans Warehouse. They are entry level shoes but my friends (mostly beginners) are all very happy with them.

Otherwise go to your local bike shops and see what they have.

A mountainbike shoe's sole doesn't need to be as stiff as a road shoe because you will probably end up having to do more walking in them. Bear that in mind when you try them on - especially if you do long rides with steep hills that you have to walk up. Then there's nothing worse than uncomfortable shoes!

Good luck and let us know what you find. :)

I have the Ladies Tahoe shoes from Specialised. No more numb feet, lovely! I am also a 41 and battled to get this size as it seems popular.

Yup, on my 2nd pair of Specialized lady specific shoes. First pair are still in great condition, my feet just grew when I was pregnant (or as someone said its just cause I'm fatter).

 

I had the more entry level specialized shoes and now have the fancy ones. The fancy ones are super comfortable, but I can't fault the other ones.
