Spotted a new pair of these shoes in my size for under £100 which seems like a bargain. However, I would be interested to get opinions on the durability of these before I pull the trigger. I wear my shoes for the commute and quite a lot of MTBing. I do end up doing a bit of walking around in them too. I want to get shoes that are going to last me a few years at this price!
The uppers look tough but I am concerned about the sole material - there is very little of it and its seems quite low density. Looks like it will wear through in no time. I'm also wondering about the material inside the heel cup. Most of my other shoes get shredded in this area.. how to the Sidis fare? Also how well do they drain? MTBing I tend to have wet feet half the time and my shoes need good drainage!
Also on my shortlist are some Shimano XC50N shoes if anyone has tried them?
Cheers
Dan
