M L Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Which MTB shoes (not flats) do you folk recommend as a good alternative for the R4,000 Specialized Recon 3.0? Been using Specialized shoes for years now but they’ve gone from R1,400 to R4,000 in about 7 years. So getting seriously expensive. Have tried their Recon 2.0 but the sole is way too soft (feet getting hurt).

ians H2Sport Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Interesting that you raise this. I have only ever bought Specialized shoes and for the first time, today actually, I started looking at other brands. The last 3 pairs of Specialized have had issues, so was keen to see what else is out there. Best I could find, in my opinion, is Shimano. Check out the current deals on Evobike. Regarding your price concerns, I think you will find most brands, if not all, have seen a significant price increase over the past few years. M L 1
Danger Dassie Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Currently looking at the Louis Garneau Hillibilli xc shoes to replace my current Specialized Experts, which I'll keep as spare. I know Trailwolf Cycles are currently running 10% off on their LG shoe stock. trailwolf.co.za

MORNE1102 Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 If you can justify it get a pair of S-Works recons, it’s expensive but everything in this bloated industry is. Your feet will thank you.
