Sadly killed my 5yr old Lake MX331's on yesterdays ride. They've not had an easy life, but bit gutted they've died! Still... As if I needed an excuse to buy new shoes, I actually have one this time...
Looking for XC SPD shoes, BOA lacing preferably, ideally carbon sole but with nice grippy rubber tread (not like the hard plastic you see on many!), and other than that, I'm open to suggestion. Fit wise, I'm fine with most brands, I certainly don't need a specific wide fit. Oh, and I'm a 45 in Lake/Shimano.
Oh, and budget wise... I just looked at how much the MX332 replacements for my MX331's are now... 😳 OUCH! Don't wanna spend quite that much...
Have you tried Sport Pursuit. Lots of Lake on there at the mo..

Specialized 2fo cliplite. I love mine. Pick them up on eBay cheap also. I got a pair, used twice for £20
Shimano XC7, Boa ✓, carbon sole ✓, grippy rubber ✓. I have the black ones for all round commute and off road gravelly duties and they seem pretty good so far. For something a bit less stiff the new XC5 comes in a funky blue colour for a bit less cash with a single boa and velcro strap.

Cheers, didn't realise they had.
Looks like they've got the MX237's in my size... hmmmm 🤔
Specialized 2fo cliplite.
Need XC shoes, already sorted for trail style SPD shoes ta.
Giro Cylinder are pretty good value. Not carbon but good fit/sole/value.
Shimano XC7
REALLY struggling with the looks I'm afraid to say. That and haven't had the best experiences longevity wise with Shimano XC or road shoes in the past...
Giro Cylinder are pretty good value.
Yeah they look pretty good too... The price certainly isn't offensive!
Any more for any more recommendation wise?
Anyone running Fizik X5’s?
What about the Northwave Rebel 2’s?
Have the northwave origin plus. Very comfy, quite wide in front, only one boa so if you like really snug fit then the rebel 2 are better bet. Normally a 9 (43) but went for the 43.5
