Any Look(3 bolt) compatible Mountain Bike shoes?

[kw]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a site that sells Mountain Bike shoes that are Look
compatible? I've checked specialized, performance, nashbar... All of em are
only SPD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try inserting a couple of T-nuts as with the original look pedals. See

The more I read these (not only your) comments about wallking in cycling
shoes, the more I am convinced there are a bunch of hapless riders,
incapable of fixing flats, overcoming a temporary mechanical, or simply so
lazy as not to be able to change shoes. Did you guys ever think that maybe
wearing cycling shoes relates to riding the bike, attached to the pedals ?
Don't stay attached !?!? Try Keds - flat soled. Can't keep the mech's
running right - spend money to get things fixed. Bread too many things ?
Re-examine you aptitude.

None of this gets in the way of using LOOK, Time or Shimano pedals.
Providing you like being on the bike. Other pedals (crank, speedplay,
etc) - fine, if that's your happy choice.

Sheesh !!!!!!

Some of the cheaper Lake road shoes have lugged soles much like mtb shoes.

Actually, Look's first off-road pedal (came out in the early 90s) had a
modified road cleat, and the shoes that went with them were walkable
but used the same bolt pattern as the road shoes. I can't remember
what these were called but they weren't very popular (the system was
heavy and very expensive, IIRC) but if you manage to find a pair they
can probably be had for cheap.

Maybe someone else here remembers the model number?

Yes, agreed. Here's one installed:

You may have to trim some shoe tread away but that's not too
difficult.

My Sidi MTB shoes have the holes and even came with a set of Look cleats.

If by mountain bike shoes you mean shoes that you can walk in, then today may
be your lucky day. If you wear a US size 7 1/2, I have a set of look sneakers.
These were sold by look way back when the look pedals had just come out. Drop
me an email if you have interested.

Also check out Price Point. I just saw a {brand escapes me} that had a very
lugged sole, much like the Lake ones I suggested earlier.
