What Touring Shoes
« on: November 25, 2007, 07:45:35 PM »
Looking for a new set of cycling shoes, just after some suggestions.
I need to be able to walk in them as well. My current shoes have to much venting and my feet freeze on cold mornings.
 I perfer something that is fairly plain and don't make me look like a bill board or that I have just finished a stage race!! SPD compatible and not to narrow. I know shoes are a personal thing but they are too expensive to keep changing if you get it wrong.

I've been happy with my Specalized Taho, they've lasted a few years and become more comfortable with age.  When they do finally wear out I'd be tempted to replace them with the Exustar leather ones;

No, I found them far too narrow. I ended up with Northwave shoes, much better for broad feet.

They do sound good, I just wounder what they will look like with shorts, probably very retro. Think being leather they will be better for your feet long term
