Decent entry level shoes

McWotever · 2011-02-05 12:51:03

Anybody any suggestions for a decent pair of entry level shoes for a road bike? Was looking to spend around €100-120 for the shoes and pedals. Probably buy off chain reaction, unless you guys have better ideas. Cheers

Evans have 25% off shoe and pedal combination. They have limited stock but the Mavic Avenir's at €88 with 25% off is great value and great shoe.

€ 30 delivered or € 36 delivered for pedals seems good value! I think I have the first ones and find them grand. The Wiggle M1/R1 shoes seem to normally be € 60 and then drop down to € 50 every few weeks in an offer!

Those SPD-SLs are actually €30 on CRC, in case the OP wants them and wants to save a bit more

Thanks for your thoughts guys.

Went with Shimano R087 Shoes http://www.evanscycles.com/products/shimano/r087-2011-road-shoe-ec025522

And Shimano R540 SPD SL Road Pedals http://www.evanscycles.com/products/shimano/r540-spd-sl-road-pedals-ec006321

As a previous poster said there is a 25% discount when buying Shoes and Pedals together, so was €7ish cheaper than CRC at just over €100. Wonder how quick they are at shipping thou.
