Shoes for SPD pedals

[parkesy555]

Hi guys, looking to get a pair of clipless shoes. Going to buy the SPD pedals simply because they're pretty cheap and I like the idea of them being double sided.

Can anyone recommend me a decent shoe under the £50 mark (if possible).

If not, can you tell me what to look for/point me in the right direction finding a shoe that's compatible with the SPD pedals.

Thanks in advance!

Ones that fit! If buying online, use retailers with free returns or ot gets very expensive at a fiver plus to post shoes back

For under £50 look at DHB from wiggle or the cheaper shimano models

Also given you're in London, head to a large Evans or cyclesurgery and see what they have. Most are over £50 however wherever you buy

You need a shoe with two holes to take the cleat. If wanting to walk, go for recessed cleats or walking is like ice skating

Shimano m065 s
Just had a pair of these and i found them very comfy , wiggle sizing does show suggested size 1 eu up from normal so my normal 8 /42 is listed as a 8 / 43 in the information and i found it spot on.

I found the entry level dhb shoes to warm and the toe box restrictive on my big toe.

Decathlon do their own brand SPD mountain bike shoes that come in below £50 and also stock a couple of Shimano options in that price range.

Thanks very much guys! Yeah think i'll head to a larger evans cycles to try some on for size, but order online.

Went to the one at Spitalfields yesterday and there was not much selection at all

Shimano shoes come up quite small so well worth trying before you buy. I went in Halfords and tried some on to get an idea. Can't fault my Shimano M162 shoes. That said, they weren't the cheapest but I'm sure you could get some Shimano shoes under £50 if you look around.

Road shoes: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-r088-spd-sl-road-shoes/

Touring or a bit of both: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-mt34-spd-touring-cycle-shoes-2014/

Off road: http://www.pedal-pedal.co.uk/cycle-...shoes/shimano-sh-xc31-spd-mtb-shoes-2015.html

FWIW, I tend to find the touring shoes come up a little larger than the on/off road shoes but that's possibly because they're more performance orientated and need a closer fit.

I can recommend these. Worth the extra £8.

Evans price match, so if you find a pair you like, get out your phone and find an online price you like, and that's what you'll pay in Evans. And you keep Evans in business, which is good if you want to do the same thing for your next pair of shoes.

I ended up going for a pair of these in the end! http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-r065-spd-sl-road-shoes/?sku=5360667571

Er, have you got SPD (mountain bike type) pedals or SPD-SL (road type) pedals?
