dirtypot Posted March 24, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diirty Posted March 24, 2015 Share Been using Olympic for many years. Cheap, reliable and tough as nails. They just work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raydek Posted March 24, 2015 Share 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..

quintonb Posted March 24, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neill Du Toit Posted March 25, 2015 Share Also got First Ascent (was R899 at Sportmenswarehouse a year ago). Still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted March 25, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
