Kooskoos Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Hi everyone, the time has come and my toes have decided to grow and I am looking for a new pair of mtb shoes. I currently ride with 43 Specialized 2013 comp mtb shoes, which were very nice and very stiff for a 'plastic' sole. I have to decide between a few 44 sized shoes like: Mavic Fury Suplest Specialized Xc pro Diadora I would like to have a carbon sole I have a high-arch and my budget is about R1k - 3k max I would appreciate any info regarding mtb shoes! Cheers!
burty Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Sidi's - imo - rode Giro codes & spez sworks and the sidis is way better than both, save up the extra bucks
Pulse Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Semi hijack I am also looking for new MTB shoes. Only problem is that it MUST have a low heel counter so there is absolutely no contact with my achilles tendon. I have long standing issues with those buggers, and even with inserts I cannot seem to get shoes that clears them.I am willing to pay whatever it takes.(I would love something with a bit of a rubber outer sole that would allow walking)Suggestions?
Andrew64 Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Sidi make a wide/ mega, I also have a high arch and have not found a better shoe for that problem.

JohanC Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Well those Mavic Fury's in your picture are R5k boet! I ride Spez XC pro's. Have a pronated left foot so had to fit an (Spez) inner sole with high arch recently. You can get the XC pro for about R2800. I do still like the Sidi's, next on my list.
L.T.G Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 got these Spez XC Pros about 2 months ago so far so good.My Sidi Dragons are looking a little rough, but 4 years on,looks are deceiving they're still going strong!I still use them every alternate weekend. Spez have Shimano cleatsSidi have Crank Bros
rouxtjie Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Picked up a set of shimano(bulletproof) m240 from the lab the other day...they were on clearance. Really lekker skoens and tough as nails
Guest Karma Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 these get my vote, although you should go fit all your options.
