About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Bought these shoes last time they were on sale and found them great, the little cover at the front keeps the toes nice and warm... go one size up though!
The most noticeable benefit was the power transfer when I used them on the Turbo Trainer, they really are an upgrade over the Muddy Fox MTB shoes I got from Sports Direct!
Thanks to for the 10%off code.

sorted byYes, I used these shoes on road bikes. It is common practice to use MTB shoes on road bikes as they are:
- More comfortable to walk in.
- Cleats last for ever
- Cheaper
- More durable and weather proof
Yes and no. More comfortable off the bike in moments where you need to walk, yes without doubt. On the bike, particularly over distance, properly fitter road shoes will often be more comfortable, largely because road pedals and cleats are much bigger and spread the pressure more evenly across what tends to be a more stiff sole which spreads the pressure more evenly across your foot. However if you also class the ease and comfort of being able to clip in and out, and you're not the most confident with clipless pedals (what these are know as) when MTB shoes are more forgiving for people learning and nervous with these.
Note, MTB shoes and Road shoes use different style medals, road uses a 3 bolt cleat standard where as MTB use a 2 bolt standard. Almost all shoes only support one type.

On grass? gravel or tarmac? Easy on the first two, a bit of a stretch on Tarmac but doable
Im exactly the same size and went for the same option... And just as happy!
Got that on my Van Rysel EDR 105. Try facebook market place
TRP brakes on RC520 were great, better than 105 caliper on Van Rysel
It’s true - they have a softer sole. However road bikes shoes transfer more power and are better if you want to use your energy efficiently
The triban frames are amazing aren't they . Feel your pain with an 8 speed but all that time with the gaps in gears is making you a stronger cyclist
Have always used spd on all my bikes including road, could never get on with spdl, too awkward.
Thanks for that!
Did you go a size up? read your comment from the last deal and went one size up, did the trick for me... so thanks Lefty!
I did, still didn’t help me though sadly!
Also easier to engage / disengage than SPD-SL's..
Exactly, being double sided also helps!
Exactly... all I'm looking out for now is a Shimano 105 Groupset 11 speed deal
Oh ok...... i wanted a bike at the beginning of the Lockdown to become healthier. No bike available apart from the Triban RC120 rim brakes version. It's ok with the Microshift and shimano groupset but the gaps between the 11-34 8speed cogs are too significant and i need the 105 so bad..... the bike frame is perfect and outstanding for me
What are the brakes like? I'm thinking of getting TRP RG957 long reach caliper brakes.
Try some of the cheap shoe covers you can pick up for £10-£15 should solve your cold feet problem.
On my bike thats connected to an Elite Zumo
On a scale of 1-10, about a 6, similar to the DHB Dorica's from CRC. I use mine for gravel when there might be some walking. Sole has a more rubbery grip than the DHB's too. Recommended
No they dont
If you mean to clip into a wattbike that has standard pedals fitted then yes if you add SPD cleats (small metal ones with two bolt fitting).
Lots of cleats on the market so they always come with the pedals, you'll never get shoes with pedals.
These shoes dont come with cleats, Muddy Fox shoes from Sportsdirect and Amazon come with cleats and screws...etc
Yes Wattbikes normally come with Wellgo pedals although gyms will replace them with all sorts of things.
Wattbike pro are the older E148 3-in-1 pedal which has an SPD compatible mount opposite the cage. The toe cages sit on a SPD-SL type pedal. Note for road shoes users although Shimano SPD-SL cleats will work due to copyright purposes the Wellgo cleat is slightly different and will be rough clipping in/out. The good news is cleats are cheaper than Shimano.
Wattbike Atom come with really cheap E179 cage pedals based on the assumption that you are going to bin them and fit the same pedals you use on your other bikes.
Top tip if you have never removed wattbike pedal cages there is a knack. Best to wait until the gym is empty to practice rather than pulling a wattbike over on top of yourself in front of a crowd
I bought these on Amazon for £63.99 in April 2019. I couldn't recommend them more. They look casual, you can easily walk in them for short distances. I've had them for almost 2 years now and still going strong. The only downside is that you will need overshoes in the cold because of the mesh at the front. Perfect for warmer weather though as they provide good ventilation.
Some people comment that they even wear them in the office but I don't really fancy the loud orange with smart wear
