Road Shoes

Shimano R088 or R107? Are the R107 worth a extra £30?

Having bought cheaper shoes in the past only to 'upgrade' later I can only say 'yes'.

However, to be certain, do you have an LBS where you can try both on and see how they feel to you?

No? but buying from wiggle so free returns. However I have tried on R088 which feel fine.

FWIW one of the main reasons I changed shoes was for the fastenings i.e going from the velcro to ratchet style (in the case on commuter / MTB) and boa (road) as they felt more secure.

I tried both of those and I ended up with the 107's. Fit is the same between them. They are worth the extra for the carbon sole and the fastenings. Excellent shoes.
