Northwave Kameleon Cycling Shoes Web Power Cage Upper MTB Made in resistant and extremely light microfiber, it holds the foot firm without stretching it. The side injections are to protect the foot from bumps against rocks or branches and are made of a material that does not compromise suppleness and comfort of the uppers. Step By Step Closing System The innovative Step-by-Step mechanism gives a precise and stabile closure of the instep strap, and a gradual release of the pressure by the special `release' button. It allows an optimal micrometric adjustment, matched with the possibility of co n t rolling pressure release on the foot arch `step bystep'. Jaws Sole The Jaws sole were designed after studying MTB tires to guarantee the maximum grip in extreme conditions on uphill sections, descents and all types of earth - even the most insidious. The front end of the sole is divided into two parts: a mid-sole in fiber with added carbon powder and an outsole. The natural rubber rear part had been designed to ensure maximum grip also during descents. Key Features: Two carbon effect straps Step by step closing system Jaws technology New soft feel material for extra comfort and airation Tongue holder Excellent closing without pressure points Web Powercage upper made from extremely resistant and lightweight fibre Side injections to protect foot from bumps against rock or branches Ultra Y heel Holds the foot in a more natural position for better pedalling dynamics
Advantages: Control, power transfer, efficiency etc Disadvantages: You might fall off once or twice....
...around / pushing you do you might want a more flexible sole; the more flexible the better for walking but the worse for power transfer to pedal) & fixing. Also style if you plan to walk around in them!!
I have a set M535 (LX) shimano pedals as well as a set of cheap M646 platform copies from wellgo.
On the shoe front I use Northwave arctics in the winter (the only shoe to have in the cold; Northwave use a shimano sole with their own upper), Specialized comp in summer & a set of Lake "skate stylee" shoes if I gotta walk anywhere in them!...

...the shoe is at the lower end of the shimano range but offers great value for money when picked up on - line at end of season sales.
Tough suede and rubber shell with cambrelle lining makes for a comfortable shoe, both laces and velcro strap offer adequete fastenings and it looks pretty good, a stiff sole allows fairly comfortable walking when needed.
Sizing can be a problem due to the ridiclues small system that cycleshoes go by. Its a narrow shoe so make sure not only length but width is accounted for when choosing.Roughly 1 to 2 sizes above normal shoe size should be okay.
The attachement of cleats is pretty straight forward as one would expect from shimano, instructions in multi language format are easily understood...

...SPD INTRO
Shimano M072 shoes are SPD cyclingshoes 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. I have used number if different types over the years, most of which I cant remember the name off and ones that usually found the bucket because they broke...

There has been a series of killings in the subdued small town of Tarker Mills. Reports of a large wolf like creature prowling the town are greeted with a mixture of disbelief and fear. Yet as the killings become more and more violent it is clear that no more
