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

Help with shoes!! (road)

We only have 2 LBS in my town, one carries Shimano shoes, the other Louis Garneau shoes. Im trying to stay around the $150 mark, and I like the Shimano R131's. I have tried to research LG but come up with nothing. Does the forum have any experience with these shoes? and how do they compare to others?
Im also open for other brands in that price range. Thanks

Each store only carries one brand? What level of hell do you live in?

Anyway, both Shimano and LG are on the wider side and are both good shoes. I personally think the Shimano ones are fugly, but that's what I'm using right now because they fit me the best. It might be worth the trip to find some more stores and try Sidi, Specialized, etc.
