The problem with biking shoes for me is fit. About 7 years ago I latched on to the Specialized brand for fit, comfort and value. I'm on my third pair (the second is a good back-up), but I still have to try them on as even year to year they change shape enough to make at least a metric half-size difference.

My last pair listed for $130 which is about $50.00 more than previously. Well worth the big $'s. This is for their mountain bike shoes which I use for road also.
