road shoes

[bonefishjake]

anyone have any reccos in terms of road shoes? i just need something decent, say $100? i won't be riding some high flying carbon bike...nor will i be matching my socks, jersey, helmet or hair color to said bike....so i don't need no stinking carbon shoes! 😀

any help would be appreciated. thanks!

I use these.

Nothing crazy and I use basic MTB clips. Cheap and works.

i have (and need new) mtb shoes but since the bike has look pedals on it already i figured i may as well utilize them.

Why not just use your mtb shoes?

Edit: never mind

I'm here unsupervised and bored, with total control. I say we have a Jake sale on shoes!!!

I like my Lake CX165s...of course, I have duck feet so I don't have a lot of choices.

They're on sale for $75. Pretty good deal if they have your size in stock...

Shimano SH-R085

Comfy, vented and secure well to your foot. they are in your range as well. I rode spds of the road bike for quite some time. It was a night and day difference when i got in some road mashers.

Sidis all the way...

...Given your budget of $100, I'd look into the Specialized BG shoes, like the Road Comp, at $130 it's a great bang-for-the-buck shoe...

Price Point has good deals. Some Addidas and Shimano for under $100. Even Sette shoes would be fine.

I have to second the specialized BG shoes...I love the way they fit...

Jake,

If you're still looking, Nashbar is having a sale...seems like a decent deal or two in there (if they have your size).

i got a smokin' local deal this weekend on a pair of specialized...um...somethings. not sure what, they're still in the box which is in the garage. the retail was like $130 so i think they're the shoes that jim mentioned. hell, ANY road shoes would have been fantastic. so, case closed.
