Alternative to Spez shoes

[Underachiever]

Suplest. And I can confirm Shimano.

 

I like the Suplest look, but anyone selling them in JHB? A bit risky for me to buy them over the web from CWC

I went from Speaz to Gaerne and have been really happy, the toe box actually has more room.

 

contact me for deals on them if you're interested

 

If you sell them, it might inspire confidence if you could spell them.

Been riding with the Giro Code MTB shoes and they have been great and well priced. Mavic just too narrow and Spez just a tad too wide. Giro Guage are also an option.

 

+1 on the narrow mavics, after 5 years my fury's are finally stretched. im to ashamed to complain since i dished out so much for them

He sells Gaerne, which is spelled correctly :-) But yes totally butchered the competition!!!

What is wrong with the spelling?

Mmm.... Like the Gaerne look - so who stocks them in Gauteng (East)?

Also went to Giro and loving it. Just watch the size... mine are a bit smaller than expected and my one foot's big toe gets nailed if I tightened it too much. Hopefully it will sort itself out with time or I'll learn the "sweet spot" for tightening the front. And not so that you notice it whilst fitting, but after a couple of hours, you feel it. But for sizing, awesome shoes!

 

Only reason I went from Spez is that their new shoes really looked more like ballet shoes than mtb shoes. Still riding my "old" Spez shoes, transitioning to the Giro's.

You won't find me wearing anything else but the Sidi Mega shoes... I was struggling with numb feet/toes for quite some time and shopped around from Louis Garneau's to Specialized...

Nothing resolved the issue, until I tried out the Sidi Mega shoe.

 

I wear size 46, and the 46 Mega shoe is absolutely perfect. If you have really really wide feet, go for the half size up. These shoes are awesome!!

 

I've got both road and mtb mega shoes... won't change

if you can find them try bontrager shoes. distribution isn't great in sa apparently so not stocked everywhere.

I have wider feet and switched to Shimano MTB shoes (SH-XC50). Find them extremely comfortable and hard wearing.
