    I’m looking for some advice, I’m after a pair of shoes to race and ride sportives in. I’ve set myself a budget of around £150. So I’m just wondering what you would recommend?

    On another note, how much room am I looking for in my shoes? I’m reading a mixed selection of opinions across the internet as to how tight/loose shoes should be.

    I’m looking at the SIDI’s and possibly Northwave’s or Gaerne’s. Guess I’ll try them on for comfort at the local LBS’s.

    what about some of those nice retro style Dromarti ones? i would certainly put them on my list if i was in the market for new shoes.
    Mavic fit well in my opinion esp. if you take a half size, and if you go for sidi’s well worth going up/down to london to their ‘sidi cafe’ (http://www.velouk.com/) so you can try on the whole range.

    Thanks guys, I think I’m going to go try a few pairs on to get an idea of fit to start with, and start the elimination process from there. I’m sensing it’s going to be much like choosing a saddle, and be mainly down to personal preference.

    Shouldn’t that be “Nooo shooos!”?

    I really like the Gaerne shoes I bought last year from CRC. Quality aluminium ratchet on the strap. Mine are G.Ara MTB shoes; I use Eggbeater pedals on all my bikes and like to be able to walk around. I’m sure the road ones are just as good.
