We are heading off on a pretty long cycle tour from the UK to Kenya and we only want to take one pair of shoes with us.
We are therefore looking for some shoes with cleats that will be comfortable for walking in.
We are anticipating quite a lot of walking in some parts of Africa where the road quality gets a bit rough and particularly in Ethiopia where there are lots of pretty large mountains?!?
I recently bought a pair of Bontrager Street Shoes but they don't look like they will be up to the challenge and I will be returning them soon.
Some other potential options are the Northwave City Cruiser, the Pearl Izumi X-road, the Shimano MT33 SPD leisure shoe, the Shimano MT42 SPD Multi-purpose shoe, the Lake MX102 tour and trail .
It would be great to get some advice from people who have used any of these shoes or if you have got/used others that would do the job on our trip.
Thanks in advance.
