Best MTB shoe

[Newton]

My vote goes to the Shimano M122 SPD Shoes, I love them, three velcro straps and they are very comfortable to boot, I also like that they are white, everthing I have is black, the shoes make a nice contrast

I just got some Shimano M225s shoes last week at Annaconda, $299 down to $200. In the past I have had Specialized and Carnac shoes and these are every bit as good or better.

i also have a pair of lake marathon shoes ,great for all day riding ,as if you gotta walk ,then these are the shoes that you better have on your feet ,great sole and really comfy

I bought a set of Vittoria's off Fleabay year before last. They've been better than excellent.

Apparently they're a $250+ Italian-made MTB shoe that I scored for $80-odd, I'm guessing made by the guys of road tyre fame. Light, stiff but with a bit of flex under the toes, really well ventilated, and a sole that's long-wearing (needed for my daily scramble up and down the stairs at the coathanger). Same size fitting as Shimano.

I just changed from Specialized to some Sidi Dragons, I liked the cant on the Specialized but the sidis are better shoes in general, IMO

I have the M122. Paid about $130 when anaconda had a sale, which is within your price range.
