I also wear mtb shoes on my road bike. I have a pair of Shimano lace up shoes which are very comfortable and easy to walk in. I have a pair of road shoes (I've had them for years) but I've almost killed myself walking in them a couple times. Polished stone floors and cycling shoes do not mix (I used to commute wearing those shoes). I don't race so I don't really care if I'm losing a miniscule amount of power due to my shoes. I'd rather be comfortable and be able to walk in them if needed.jeo said:There's a thread on road versus mtb shoes on here somewhere... I'm a roadie and use (very stiff) shimano mtb shoes. I like being able to walk in them. I used to wear real road shoes, but I always seemed to turn my ancle every once in a while. I don't see a performance benefit to road shoes and certainly not one that outweighs the trouble walking inherent with road shoes. That's just me though. All the guys I ride with wear road shoes, but I can smoke most of them so who cares.

i got some nike's with the carbon sole... got a good deal on them. my friend hated the shimano's because of the 'stupid' hole that was in the middle where ur toes were. just go to the local shops and find something u like and then hit up ebay and the internet for the best deal... im thinking about hitting up some sidi's, just need to find a place that has them in stockdomaindomain said:You do need to try them on
I got some carbon sole Nikes and they are great for me but I have friends that have tried them and hate them
