janri Posted December 29, 2012 Share What are the best mountain bike shoes to buy (and affordable)? Doing Cape Epic and need comfortable shoes (get burning sensation in feet after long distance). Should I also change my pedals and cleats to Candy? What are your views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Drey Posted December 29, 2012 Share Just bought a set of candys for the 360.....you know......the race where we do half of the Epic in 24hours.Looking for some carbon soles to go with them......must be Mavics though. janri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I also change my pedals and cleats to Candy? What are your views? I've been very happy with my Specialized MTB shoes. Very comfy. I've had Sidi's before that, which were also ok, but the toebox was a bit more cramped than the Specialized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicycle Supply Chain Posted December 30, 2012 Share You need to chat to someone about the reasons you get a burning sensation before rushing out an buying new shoes, as it may not be the problem DaLoCo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leg breaker Posted December 30, 2012 Share Thanks guys - food question - why avoid carbon shoes?Who do you suggest I see about the burning sensation in my feet? Could be pedal position. Or shoe shape. Carbon soles will limit the pain because the don't flex as much. I got a shoe fitment and inserts made. janri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLX1 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Thanks guys - food question - why avoid carbon shoes? Who do you suggest I see about the burning sensation in my feet?Sounds like a case of "hot foot",only way to fix it is to have your cleat set up checked as well as the foot bed janri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PYGA1 Posted December 30, 2012 Share And why avoid carbon soles? I'd also like to know, you will struggle to find a good mid to top range shoe that doesn't have carbon soles, I can't see any reason to avoid them janri and niterider 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
