• Can anyone shed some light on good shoes? Not looking at gravel specific, but a good MTB clipless shoe. I hear Quoc are pretty good and I've seen some nice cheapish Shimanos as well.

  • I think the main thing is to figure out what kind of fit you need, wide or narrow and then find the brand that has the right shape.

  • What size are you? As I've got a pair of shimano mtb things just sitting around.

  • I've seen Quoc dramatically fail (whole upper shoe coming unglued at the toe), but that was after 3h of hike a bike..

    I've been on Giro (Empire VR90/Sector) for the past 4-5y, they're ok, slightly overpriced for their quality imho. Shimano have upped their game in recent years, but the top of the range looks very race specific. Spesh Sworks are good, but spenny, Sidi are narrow fit generally. Lake are also supposed to be good.

    I'd recommend carbon sole if you can.

  • i second gio on having heard of quoc’s coming apart (with serious mileage though)

    Lake all tha way for moi
