I would love to know what you do with all the money you save.

If he's like me, upgrades a year later...

My new shoes were £55, I'd had the old ones over 10 years, I think the old ones were about £45.

£55 for a pair of shoes would be acceptable provided I knew I would be able to use them, as I don't know, it is an expensive gamble.

I bet you are correct, mind you I am not flash with the shoes so only spend about £100 on a pair.

SPD shoes with recessed cleats, They came without the cover that goes in the cleat recess, in the past I've used SPD shoes with clips and straps using a pair of shoes with the covers in place.

Speaking personally, work boots start around there for a good pair, but I wear them about 40 days hours a week for 48 weeks a year, plus commuting back and forth,

I said in my earlier post that I was too tight to buy cycling shoes and clipless pedals.

I was amazed at the use of "only" and £100 In the same sentence. No criticism of you, more of me.

I’m not flash either, I have my cycling shoes handmade in England

That is a long week.

No wonder they are doing well, we only have 7 days in our week in the UK.

And me, a hundred quid is a substantial sum, I'm not tight, but I am on a state pension

Perhaps I should have spent more time proofreading that post...

I agree Dave, would you think less than £10 a year on cycling shoes expensive though.

Nah! Just have a chuckle.
