cos mine have massive holes in them. Spring and Autumn kinda things as I've got MW81's for the winter and FiveTen Spitfire's for summer.
Am I better off with something like [url= http://www.madison.co.uk/products/cycling/shoes-footwear/mtb-shoes/xc70-spd-shoes-black-size-43/ ]these[/url] or [url= http://fiveten.com/products/footwear-detail/14798-freerider-elements-dark-grey-orange ]these[/url] in our rather soggy Spring/Autumn months?
I'll be wearing sealskinz socks too.
How much are those Shimano shoes???!!
I've got some which look very similar which were about £50 3 years ago. Same carbon-look weave to the upopers which is fairly splash resistant.
However I'm now looking for something with a bit more cover for spring / autumn - see my thread [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/recommend-me-some-mtb-boots-like-mt53s ]here.[/url]
Edit - I guess [url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-xc51n-spd-all-season-mountain-bike-shoes/ ]these[/url] are the current equivalent of my old shoes
