(I prefer "race type" shoes, SPD)

Im looking to find a sub $100 pair of good MTB shoes. I shy away from the Settes and such. Anyone have a line on an awesome deal?
I just bought a pair of jenson USA's Answer 07 shoe deal.
I saw someone that had the Giau's for $99.

Anyone else seen something great?

I like Lake shoes and Jenson USA has a smoking deal on some CF soled Lake shoes for $108 including shipping

Depending on what size you are, they cycle thru some good shoe deals ocassionally on Chainlove. I got myself a pair of Times (MXE model I believe) with a CF sole for approx $70.

Performance had Shimano MT60's for $70 recently.
Liking mine alot.

nashbar has some good deals on diadora shoes.

Look on ebay for new old stock specialized shoes. I scored '08 comps for under $100 last year. Say what you want about their bikes but their mid and upper level shoes are great.

Performance had Pearl Izzumi Quest shoes for $39.00 in the Atlanta store this weekend. I really like mine.

Where are you? Is there a pearl izumi outlet near you? Ive also found good clearance deals at Performance stores.

Unless I know my exact size with a specific brand, I like to try on first.

Wow, you all have come up with some great deals. Cant find the quests on their site for that price though...
Keep 'em comin! :thumbsup: Thanks!

Since you said a preference toward a "race type" shoe, I like the Lake MX235C Shoe '09 that mtnbiker72 found for you at Jenson.
I use to ride Lakes a lot- still have a pair that won't give up- I like the full grain leather,etc. Now I am on a Northwave kick (some with the two velcro and a buckle strap configuration too, great on-the-fly adjustment).

I can't speak to that Lake model mentioned, but they would still be the ones I would pick.

(I looked for some high-end Northwaves on sale @ my usual sites, but they didn't have your size, and they generally run a smidge wide anyways)

How do the lakes fit? Are they true to size?

Lake shoes are average width and fit pretty true to size. I like a snug fit so a 45 with cycling socks fit me well. I would wear a 11-11.5 in an athletic shoe with a thicker sock.

After trying on some lakes alongside of the shimano SPDs, I decided to snag a pair of the SH-MO76 Shimanos. They felt like they fit better. REI had 'em for $90+
