So recently i have noticed on my commute to work that my shoe mainly the left one(the one i clip in and out the most) moves outwards away from the pedal more and more.

So it seems its time for new cleats...question is this.

Should i get a "premium" pair of MTB cleats for my Crank brother candy pedals(soon to be changed to eggbeaters)??

And if so wheres the cheapest to get a pair of them??

Also out of interest which eggbeater pedal would be best to get as i moving onto them from candys, not sure if i should get 1,2 or 3 (£70 quite a lot of cash i guess but depends how good they are)

thanks

The new 2's and 3's have a five year waranty, the 1's don't and use the old style bearing that fall apart. So go for 2's and 3's.

What he said ^^^

Or

Cue predictable answer suggesting that you'd be better off buying SPuDs or Time...

Sorry, but I'm sure you were expecting it. 😀

Theres a guy I see often commuting on a Scott cr with acids. It just doesn't look right.

If you are intent on sticking with eggbeater style (as I am) then why not just buy a new set of pedals now as they come with cleats. Both my bikes have crank brothers on them so I can use the same shoes for both bikes.
