    You'd get a serious set for that sort of money!

    I got these shoes and these pedals for just over €100 delivered with a voucher code, and they're a cut above entry level and very comfy. My housemate got the same ones and he loves them.

    Never tried look pedals, but the general consensus when I asked was that shimano pedals have a larger platform, and would be more comfortable over longer distances, and had more durable cleats, where the look pedals were more durable.

    Hope this has helped you somewhat.

    I have look on one bike and shimano on the other. Shimano set is wider. I think I prefer the look though.

    I prefer the Shimanos as they're wider and felt like a more solid platform.
