I want a pair of MTB shoes for my ultra racing - I'm sick of having to clean dirt and stuff out of Speedplays and my lovely road shoes got fucked up on TCR CP4 last year. Any reason not to take a £300 pair of XC9s and immediately drill holes in them for midfoot? Any suggestions for other shoes that have reasonably wide and flat outer soles in the middle (ie. not SIDI or Bont)?
As a wide fit shoe person with foot pain, I've found Lake to be the most comfortable so far. I'm banking on them being good enough to stop me crying* at Mountain Mayhem.
