Best MTB shoes for road biking

OK, i think we need to have a discussion about cheap-ish mtb shoes for road cycling, my old pair which have lasted me for abotu 2 years have now got so many holes in them, but the main reason why i am replacing them is the fact that the sole is very bendy thus i get really bad hot spots

so under £90 whats a good shoe?

I just use skate shoes, are they not good enough?

just cough up and get some sidis.

what are the best road shoes for mountainbiking?

Tapdancing - Steel, Alu or titanium heel/toe bits. Which is best?

Wait for the sales at the end of the summer; go to Evans and get some specialed pro MTB shoes or go on wiggle at the moment they're selling sidi off fairly cheap!

£90 is a fairly decent budget if you're patient.

@SP - i can hardly justify £150 seeing as im 15 and i will grow out of them . . . hence why im asking for under £100 shoes
@harvey - no there not, im commuting 10 miles a day and on top going for a ride on the weekends. with flats i get pain in ankle and center of foot, i think i know whats best for me, its my choice where to spend cash :@
oh fucking hell i can see where this threads going, better go start a new thread for serious responses actually i might as well head over to bike radar

Just get some specialized MTB shoes that cost about £50 and be done with.

Lol, no ed, cant stand em i want something fairly nice, actually i think il have a look for a carbon soled shoe for cheap enter bontrager

dhb ones from Wiggle always get good reviews for the money.

Shimano M182 on CRC at under 90 (just). Awesome shoe for my foot, fit like a glove(?). Have given them 2 seasons of mountain biking and commuting and they are only just starting to show wear. I would happily buy them again.

Thanks for the advice, vinylvillian they look sweet i shall check them out :)

If you're spending £90 or £100 on shoes you may aswell just get Sidi's - Wiggle do them for like £125.

If you are certain you're still growing just get a half size too big and if you don't grow into them use an insole or something.

I'm pretty sure I've still got the same size feet as I did when I was your age.

Lol ok :) anyway the link i posted was for sidis

Sorry, not those. Sidi Dominators.

I like the Pearl Izumi MTB shoes. Been using them crank brothers clipless eggbeaters. with Fit is closer to trainers than road shoes, and you can walk in them on the street without the clickety-clack..

What is the best shoe for a completely different activity for the one I want to do.

I intend to start a thread called, "what is the best welly for breakdancing".

Shimano RT51 are a road shoe for £50 that look like they will do fine for road and MTB in all seriousness.
