Mountain bike shoe recomendation needed
Can you guys please recommend me a white MB shoe, with a slim profile (i.e. slim and not bulky), like the one pictured below? I'd like to keep the budget under $200 if possible, but please do share anything you may have or like that exceeds that amount by a $100 or so.
Thanks.
Thanks.

One that fits!
Would be looking at this as the 1st priority over color or anything else.
Not too many white shoes around for MTB's, as off road and white are a really bad matche, Shimano XC61's come close to what you want, but have a lot of black trim

Specialized 2FO Flat Out, 2 versions,, clipped or not, I have both.
I wear the Non clipped version to work, I am on my feet all day,, yes they are that comfortable and the soul wears like Iron.

Thanks, guys. I guess I might just stick with the darker pair I currently own then, since there aren't many fully white MB shoes out there, especially ones that I like.

Giro Privateer? Not entirely white, but the older versions are mostly white.
Giro Privateer MTB Shoes - Performance Exclusive
Definitely a good shoe, and well under your $200 budget.

I wear a Shimano SH-M163 shoe. It is awesome except the sole turns into ice on wet wood. I's black though.[h=1][/h]

Thanks a lot for the recommendations.
Just ordered the Giro Privateer and the Shimano SH-M163, so I'll see which one I like more when they arrive.
MuddyBikeRider (or anyone who has owned or tried both): Any reason you chose the SH-M163 over the SH-M089? Any major pros vs cons to consider for each?
