DamMTBer Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Which MTB shoes is better. The takkie type or the more racing like shoe?
Tumbleweed Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Depends how much walking you plan on doing? Stiff sole for me please.
TNT1 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Depends how much walking you plan on doing? Don't you mean how much lying down you plan to do?
Tumbleweed Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Don't you mean how much lying down you plan to do? I reckon I should just save money and ride barefoot.
DamMTBer Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Don't you mean how much lying down you plan to do? LOL, Discovered this weekend at the alligator, that walking an uphill and riding in gear 30 happens at the same speed.
Mojoman Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I bought a pair of these a few weeks back, very comfortable for cycling and great to walk in, I am not a great fan of hills so often do a spot of walking (and exploring) and find that they are stiff enough for cycling but also have good tread for some walking/pushing.http://www.buycycle.co.za/buygear/shoes-mens/shimano-en-2-3-4/shimano-mt42-mtb-shoes-shimano.html
TNT1 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Stiff sole for me please. Me too. (Don't some of the top guys ride in road shoes?)
DamMTBer Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 Me too. (Don't some of the top guys ride in road shoes?) So on the weight side of things, not much difference?
andretraut Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) If your pockets are deep enough, and you can pull out about R3K odd, get these!S -mtb.bmp Edited July 20, 2011 by andrè traut
Tumbleweed Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 And don't forget to take your vernier along when shopping for MTB shoes. Seriously.
AndreZA Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 If your pockets are deep enough, and you can pull out about R3K odd, get these! They don't need to be that expensive. I payed less then R1000 for my Specialized Sport MTB shoes. Nice sole for a weekend warrior or in my case bi-annually warrior.

Nice sole for a weekend warrior or in my case bi-annually warrior.+1 Mine have lasted 4+ years and haven't had any issues with them. Nice thing about specialized is that you can also get different in-soles to suit a variety of needs e.g. collapsed arches.
Raab Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Also moved to the Specialized Sports MTB shoe recently, can't fault it!
reteid Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 on spesialized tahoe for the last 3 years and no problems.they do walk more comfortable than my olympic hurricanes though.good value for money both.i know on which training routes i will walk so then i put on the spes.i have found that i seem to have more power with the stiffer sole.
