Santic SPD Mountain Bike Shoes for Men & Women - MTB & Road Cycling Shoes - Lightweight & Durable for Trail Riding & Commuting

I have been riding road and mountain bikes since 1988. I started buying riding shoes with cleats in the early 90s. I used to spend $150-$300 a pair for road or mountain shoes without cleats. Most of those shoes lasted me an average of 10 to 15 years.This was the first time I’ve ever bought a pair of riding shoes less than $150.Right out of the bag these shoes fit great. They snuged down tight and the cleats adjusted correctly. They felt excellent. They looked excellent! So now the next part of the test will be to see what happens after I’ve ridden with them for a while. I’ll get back to you in 6 months. At this price point I would expect the shoes to look good fit well and last five years min. The reason the shoes should last at least five years is…. At this price point the quality of the shoe and the materials… under riding average conditions for an average rider really should be about five years otherwise you’re just buying shiny junk. $87 and some cents with tax is a good amount of money for anybody these days. Therefore a pair of shoes that are worn only well riding should last at least five years.
