johanpre44 Posted September 23, 2020 Share My almost 6 year old Specialized Sport MTB shoes are getting really old now (and the non-sticking Velcro can be very irritating when they pop loose mid ride). So I thought it's maybe a good idea to start looking for new shoes. I was thinking of getting the Giro Guage Lace (seen prices as low as R1300 on some online stores). I have a pair of funny feet and really need to fit before I buy, but not sure where to find a pair to fit in the Westrand. I usually go to Cycle Lab, but Giro Privateer Lace is well over R2k (not in my budget). The other cycle shops I go to to get bits for my bike do not stock any cycling shoes. Any suggestions for good laced MTB shoes that does not break the bank (+-R1500), or shops (Johannesburg, Westrand) that maybe stock a better variety of shoes compared to Cycle Lab? Think I will make a plan to visit Specialized again and see what the cheaper 2FO and Tahoe is like, or maybe look at an XC shoe with Boa dial.

AdamA Posted September 23, 2020 Share I have some Specialized Carbon MTB Shoes (bought in 2012) with velcro straps... super comfy. My straps also used to come undone. I bought some new velco strips (R30) , shaved off the soft side of the velcro on the shoe and glued (Bostik Super Contact Adhesive ) the new velcro on... been good for about a year now... Saved Postponed me replacing my for a couple more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
