Adidas MTB Voltage Cycling Shoes

Advantages: Strong, well made, functional
Disadvantages: Nothing yet.

...SPD INTRO Shimano M072 shoes are SPD cycling shoes so here's a quick explanation of what SPD is. For those who may not know SPD stands for Shimano Pedaling Dynamic. All very nice I hear you say, so to explain they are Clipless pedals. Basically you get a pair of shoes, bolt on some clips to the shoes, get a pair of SPD pedals which are like a clamp, step on the pedals and your feet are locked to the pedals. Rotating your feet to the side then releases you from the pedal. (not as dangerous as it sounds). GENERAL Shimano mountain bike shoes have been around for a number of years now and in my opinion if you are a user of SPD pedals then you can't beat Shimano PSD shoes for reliability.

Advantages: comfort and durability
Disadvantages: none

...Having tried several different shoes over the years, my last 3 pairs have been Adidas and I would not buy anything else. When you are walking several miles during a game of golf, shoes, next to golf clubs of course, have to be the most important outlay.

Many people will tell you that adidas stand for All Day I Dream About Soccer, but this is not true. The word adidas comes from a contraction of Adi Dassler who was the founder of adidas. Who are they and why trust them? They were founded in 1925 in Germany by Adi Dassler. Adi created adidas after realizing the need for performance athletic shoes. Also the reason they have three stripes is to represent his three sons. As Adidas has matured they now cover every kind of sportswear you could dream of, including footballs. At a cost of £20 from adidas I expected quality. To be truthful, quality never arrived. I took it on the field with my 14 year old nephew and gave... Read review
