1. Shimano M064 SPD MTB Shoe
Top Bargain
Review
Shimano’s M064 shoes are great all-rounders for trail riding and leisure cycling alike. The synthetic leather upper is durable for prolonged wear and has breathable mesh panels built in to prevent any hot foot issues.
The sole is very supportive, with fibreglass reinforcement to get the most from your pedal strokes and reflective details keep you visible when you leave the trails and hit the tarmac on the way home.

2. Lake MX100 SPD MTB Shoes
Review
Lake’s MX100 is built for when the going gets tough. It resembles a heavy-duty hiking boot, with a chunky sole, high ankle cuff and adjustable lace-up fastening, but the SPD compatible sole adds the clip-in functionality of other mtb shoes.
RipStop fabric and a Rock Rubber toe guard make light work of scuffing rocks and snagging thorns, while the Vibram sole is comfortable all day. If you prefer to ride on flat pedals some days, the MX100s get extra versatility points for coming with a removable cleat plate cover to close up the bolt holes temporarily.

3. Specialized Sport MTB Cycling Shoes
Review
The Specialized Sport shoes are an enduring favourite, not only for their down to earth price and looks, but for their comfort and ease of use, even for beginners. Three Velcro straps make the most of Specialized’s famous Body Geometry ergonomics by giving an adjustable fit right along the length of the foot.
The grippy sole is easy to walk in, so these shoes are also an appealing option if you prefer to use SPDs for commuting or training.

4. Mavic Crossmax MTB Enduro Racing Cycling Shoes
Pro Level
Review
There's nothing mellow about these yellow bike boots - they were developed with Mavic pro riders Fabien Barel and Jerome Clementz to tackle the long, tough, technical ride demands of enduro racing. They're absolutely packed with technical stiffness and comfort features to give you a real race advantage.
Neoprene protects the toe and heel from water ingress, as does a laces cover, and loads of ergo fit shaping and venting will keep feet comfortable and at the right temperature. Get ready for fast and furious with the Crossmax Enduro.

5. Scott Elite Boa MTB Shoe
High tech
Review
The lightweight Scott Elite features a BOA fastening for ultimate shoe fit technology. This ratchet design nips up the laces to the right tension with the simple turn of a dial, for a perfect fit every time you put them on and no faffing with flappy laces.
For even more comfort, the Ergologic insole has an adjustable arch support and metatarsal button, so both the inside and outside of the shoe are designed to conform to the fit of your foot shape. Traction while walking relies on a clever Sticki Rubber sole rather than a thick tread.
