Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cycling Shoes

I'm in the market for a new pair of shoes, currently have a pair of Nike. Looking for something of quality in the $200 and under price, if that's possible. Looked at the Shimano R131 shoe yesterday, but need some Opinions of shoes.

Thanks.

In that budget, I would look for carbon soles and pretty much just buy what fits the best. Sidi, Shimano, Time, Carnac, Specialized (if you like the idea of Varus Wedges), and many more great brands out there for that price, but if it doesn't fit well, your feet will tell you after 4+ hours in the saddle.

Try on as many as you can and get the ones that fit the best. Nothing worse than numb feet.
