Shoe brands – alternatives to Specialized

    I use 2 bolt SPD cleats on my road bikes and currently own 2 pairs of Specialized shoes – Pro carbon MTB and some older Road shoes.

    The pro carbons are great but they have chunky MTB style soles. The road ones take both 2 and 3 bolt cleats, but Spesh don’t make them any more.

    Not a fan of most touring shoes, including the BG Sport Touring, but I may have to go for them since Specialized (size 47) fit my feet really well, whereas Shimano and Giro are too narrow round the toes and Bonts are too flat for my hammer toes.

    Anyone recommend any other brands that might suit my feet based on their own experience? Rather not have to buy 3 bolt pedals for both bikes as well as new shoes, since that would also make all my existing shoes redundant except for my older Road ones.

    I know you said you rather
    I know you said you rather not but you didn’t say you will not.

    I leave 2 bolt spd for MTB. Use SPD SL for road and I recently got Shimano R171 and best shoe ever. Compared to my Rapha it is night and day in terms of comfort.

    And R171 is good value for money I feel and I believe they have wide version for your problem.
