Shimano M181 Cycling Shoes Features: Expert level off-road SPD shoe, suitable for racing or performance mountain biking Aggressive injection-moulded mud-shedding tread pattern provides excellent traction when off the bike Midsole is reinforced with rigid fibreglass for stiffness and transfer of power to the pedal with plenty of foot support Reinforced uppers feature breathable mesh and polyurethane-coated split leather for venting and protection Easy to use secure fitting micro-adjusting buckle strap is backed up by two cuttable Velcro-style hook-and-loop closure straps Optional replaceable metal spikes Weight g for a pair of size 40 Please Note:- Pedal cleats are not included with the shoes, they can be bought separately and are always supplied with new pedals
...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...

Advantages: Strong, well made, functional Disadvantages: Nothing yet.
...SPD INTRO
ShimanoM072 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...

Advantages: Compatable for LOOK, SPD and TIME cleats Disadvantages: Only one color scheme
...The Shimano R121 shoe is a very durable and reliable shoe. It is compatable to 3 different cleats: Look, SPD and Time, which makes it very versitale for those of us with more than one bike with different pedals. Although it is almost not worth the trouble of changing cleats, as it is much easier just to buy new shoes instead of removing one cleat and re-installing the other and making all the required adjustments.
I have now had this pair of shoes for about 8 or 9 months and have logged way over400 hours and countless miles in them and they are showing less wear than could be expected.
I chose to use the Look cleat with my shoe and once I changed froom my Lake shoes to the Shimanoshoes I noticed a tremendous amount of added comfort. The soft inner-lining makes the wear on the achillies and ankles minimul while still having...

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
