Budget/Entry Level MTB SHOES

[jth]

Hi guys so I already broke the bank with the bikes and all the gear

 

Now looking for a pair of Mtb shoes since I'm riding with my training nikes

 

Any recommendations I don't wanna spend more that R1000 max intact I prefer much less than that

I don't know how the Mr price ones are or the first ascent from sportsams or the Olympic from sportsman they all around 700

Olympic...Using a pair for almost a year and half and no problems.

On my second pair in 8 years.

Get them from Sportmans.

Also used Olympic for close to 3 years when first started.

 

Mr Price also do shoes but no idea how good/bad they are http://www.mrpsport.com/en_za/jump/SPORTS/Cycling/subcategory/cat1240077/cat1240054

Shop around for specials too.  I got almost a grand off of mine by shopping for a bargain, and came out only slightly above my initial R1k budget.

Been using Olympic for many years. Cheap, reliable and tough as nails. They just work.

Wife and I each bought a pair of the MTB MR P shoes about 2 years ago.  I used them for MTB and she uses them for road cycling. Her pair is still perfect, mine lasted a few weeks on the mountain before breaking..

 

I then invested in a pair of the First Accent ones, still no issues with them.

 

Hope that helps..

My first pair of Olympic shoes lasted me nearly 5 years, I did 3 Sani2c's in them.

Im onto my second pair now, have then about 3 years.

 

Great value for money. Only thing is they a bit heavy.

Have bought Olympics twice, both times the shoes lasted about 2 years = +- 800 hours of mtb'ing

[burty]

what size are you ? got a pair of 2nd hand Giro codes, great condition, hardly used R 1 000

First Ascent...the cheap ones.

 

Fine footwear.

Specialized have entry level options. Only a few things worse than uncomfortable shoes.

Also got First Ascent (was R899 at Sportmenswarehouse a year ago). Still going strong.

I bought a pair of these for under R1000 about 4 years ago, still going strong (5-6 days a week riding) and are good to walk when you need to and don't look all plasticky.
