best possible source of information's.
Once in rainy day was thinking about next day and smashed on a car which stopped without any reason. I was going about 30-35 kilometres per hour Shoes to which are attached cleats accumulated most of force but even that it did not help. Hit was so strong that uncleated and landed on roof of car and slide on a street. Next day I could not walk I had so badly stretched muscles in my legs. I do not want to think what could happen without being attached to bicycle.
Do not get me wrong that telling you all that it is only to explain you how strong, tough PolarisMR5000 are and useful. Thus after one year of seriously hard service it is enough to clean them and they look like brand new.
Sole is very stiff. Competition thread & front metal screw-in studs are for extra grip. That helps pedalling ...
Advantages: Stylish, durable, comes with cleats for clipping in, you can actually walk in them off the bike Disadvantages: You won't be accepted by 'roadies' in them, can't fit waterproof over shoes over them
****Preamble****

Being a road cyclist (who uses both a racer and a mountain bike, depending upon the weather and road conditions) I originally bought a pair of RR shoes but after a few weeks use and a few close shaves (I nearly came a cropper in them on numerous occasions) I changed them for a pair of MTB shoes.
****The similarities and differences between MTB and RR shoes****
Both MTB shoes and RR shoes are similar in that they are designed to allow the wearer to cycle more efficiently hence allowing them to go further and faster than if wearing conventional shoes or trainers. This is where the similarity ends though.
Both MTB shoes and RR shoes have cleats on them ...
Advantages: Has EVERYTHING you need, site is easy to use and secure, Excellent online experience Disadvantages: The shops are too far away from me.
