    It's gotta be Mavic now. Used to make the Adidas I think.

    No one is permitted to buy these, I want them.

    adidas/salomon/mavic are the same company, so they share a lot of the same tech. eg the lace closures from the off road runners, buckles from ski boots, contragrip soles etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,831 ✭✭✭ROK ON


    Have a very similar pair of NW shoes - got em for 100 notes in Cycleways.

    Look nice, but horible road vibration even with the carbon sole. So much so I get pins and needles during most rides.

    MY Specialised SPD type shoes are eon's more comfortable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,505 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    Keep those shoes Raam, they are completely naff. They look like something a soccer mom would wear driving to go pick the kids up. Don't forget to buy a "juicy" tracksuit too!

    I call these:

    Mavic is a subsidiary of Salomon but they are no longer related to Adidas (Mavic had been manufacturing Adidas cycling gear since the sale, but this has now been discontinued and they are doing under their own branding.)

    A very big +1.

    I am sick of the veiled adverts.

    Be honest and post in the advert section that these shoes are for sale somewhere. This is beyond nonsense.

    Have no problem with people recommending stuff, but when it is done, have no affiliation.

    I believe that the OP is simply touting for business. Nothing wriong with this, but the adverts section is the place for it.

    The Mavic shoes come in yellow too. I like the look of the Mavic, and arguably even more the Adidas, but unfortunately they are made for narrow French feet and don't fit me. So back to my Sidi-Specialized-Shimano-Sandals.

    Sorry Raam, but when I see yellow shoes, I think of this.

    They're yellow inside.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,400 ✭✭✭Caroline_ie


    I like the Nike cycling shoes myself, but they don't exist in white, that's what I am having to cover mine with white booties. It's hard to find too, I got all my ones on eBay*.

    It's the outside that counts. Everyone knows that.
