Peff Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Hi Guys, I have been riding my MTB for about a year but mainly on the road. I finally took the plunge and got a road bike here on the hub. I'm looking to get some road shoes and was wondering if anyone has had experience with these Ryder peloton shoes. My budget is around R1500, so i have narrowed it down to these two.Ryder Peloton R1200 or Specialized Torch 1 R1300 Any feedback with either will be appreciated. ThanksPeff

Spinnekop Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Size 6Sorry. Thought I could help out. But my 12s wont work. Whatever you go for, get proper insoles.
Craai Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Not sure of your size, but have a look herehttps://www.puremotionsports.co.za/product-category/clearance/ Some very nice Bont’s at good prices ( (Bont Blitz road, vapour and vapour plus available)
Loose cog Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 You have set yourself a decent budget and shoes in that price bracket often will outlast more expensive shoes. I am light on shoes and tend to change them long before they wear out. My son on the other hand .......
Iwan Kemp Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I'd go with the dayglo shoes for that reason. High visibility clothing works best when they move around. Maybe from behind the view or profile is small, but every bit helps.
bertusras Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Judging by how well my budget Olympic MTB shoes are holding up, I'd also consider these: https://sport.takealot.com/sport-olympic-racing-cycling-shoes/PLID48227191 Article about them here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/gear/gear-news/olympic-international-launches-new-cycling-shoe-range-r4021
FirstV8 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I used Look shoes in the 80 /90's when there was not a big selection of shoes available and rode them for 15 years . As one member said make sure it has a good inner sole ( i used Scholls ) and changed them regularly . Also i found a shoe with good ventilation is needed for our hot climate .
coppi Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Definitely the Ryder Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bateleur1 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I am happy with my Spez shoes. My last two pairs were Spez but those Torch one I would propably set on fire due to the colour. I am also not too fond of those valcro strips so would rather suggest the Ryder. That string setup would propably outlast the valcro.
TheoD Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I'm looking for shoes as well, thanks I think these are awesome.Judging by how well my budget Olympic MTB shoes are holding up, I'd also consider these: https://sport.takealot.com/sport-olympic-racing-cycling-shoes/PLID48227191 Article about them here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/gear/gear-news/olympic-international-launches-new-cycling-shoe-range-r4021
JacBrand Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 I have used my Spez Sport road shoes for about 11 years. Compared to my previous pair (DMT)the sole is not as stiff, but the "Body Geometry" tapered soles helped with a slight ITB problem I had.On the Ryder product, it looks like a nice shoe. I like the boa fastener. It should make for a better fit
ct_rider Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 If you have a MTB, nothing wrong with using mtb shoes and pedals on a road bike.
