AndreZA Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 2 years??? Depends if you buy it yourself or not. My Northwaves are 6 years old and is still perfect for me. It's a pitty because I really want new ones.

I guess my question is ?What is the life span of cycling shoes?? Bored are we? Still waiting for the new bike? Just go for it. Get some new shoes and make sure they are white. That way they will be very bling and they will look like you need to replace them after a year

PappaBear Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I also reckon road shoes will last longer than mtb shoes....

David #7 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 As our style guru will tell you. You must replace your shoes as soon as a new model come onto the market. The more BLING the better.
ShortLegs Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 The normal lifespan of road-cycling shoes is as follows: replace only when the same or other manufacturer releases a new, highly-p0rn0 looking pair of shoes. This can prove quite costly when after buying Shimano's latest offering one discovers that they pale in comparison next to the latest Specialized. Alternatively you could commute and this would provide the ideal excuse for new bling shoes (people think I commute throughout the year for training, but it's actually only so I've got a valid excuse to get new stuff )ShortLegs2008-05-14 01:43:53

GoLefty!! Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Shoes tend to last quite a long time if you buy good ones. MTB:Shimano SH-M225 have lasted over 7 years. (2x Cape Epic, Sani2C, and many many more.Northwave Team MTB lasted 3 years before that. Road:Carnac Quartz have laste 8 years repalced them last year.Time RAcing before that lasted 10yrs. Carbon reinforced sole. expensive initial purchase but they were stil stiff when they fell off my feet.
dirtrider Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 #7 I really had no idea you even knew how to spell Style , never mind subcribe to it !!! Although my 6 year old Olympic MTB shoes looks like sh@t and most probably smell the same they still still works perfectly .
