Although some people like to opt for the 'function over fashion' approach to SPDs that a set of lightweight dancing shoes can provide, if you are concerned about not looking like part of a ballet cast and would prefer to be able to stand and walk around when off your bike, then these Shimano AM45's win over all others. The soles have that perfect blend of stiffness and flexibility so they don't waste any power when you're on the bike, and yet they're still comfy to walk in, plus they give a decent amount of grip. These shoes are built to last too and with their functional with lace covers and shiny wipe clean surface they're ideally suited to UK muck, something that really can't be said about some of the competition. All-in-all a great UK SPD shoe that is loved by many riders and racers alike.Features: Multi-purpose AM SPD cycling shoe ideal for BMX, Downhill or recreational useSPD cleat compatible for stable pedalling on rough surfacesTall inside height of upper supports and protects the ankle also helping to keeps mud, dirt and water out Durable, comfortable and protective upper construction with full Velcro-style lace cover to keep out the roostStable and durable fibreglass reinforced polyamide midsole for improved power transferShimano developed soft compound rubber sole with side bumper protection, ideal for use with pop-up style pedalsWeight: 961g for a pair of size 40
