Subject: RE: Buying Shoes, what am I going to spend I have both of the following and can say they are good quality shoes:
if you want a road shoe, the Shimano R087 is a nice one and doesn't break the bank...for about $85.
if you want a tri shoe, it's a bit more $...the Shimano TR52 is nice for around $140.
other brands might be a better bargain, such as Louis Garneau, Sidi, or Pearl Izumi...but I haven't personally tried those shoes.
as for road vs tri shoes...probably best to stick with a road shoe. it will work fine for tri's, and will have more support.
the tri shoe is just faster to put on and good for sockless riding...perhaps a bit lighter but not by much. Edited by metafizx 2013-05-19 11:59 PM
