Polaris MR 5000 - must have cycling shoes

Advantages: Everything about this shoes and idea of having that type of shoes
Disadvantages: none

.... If you think that people who have this shoe are maniacs or sportsmen's only - you are wrong. That type of shoe (with cleats) is the best possible solution for you, your cycling comfort and safety. Got them for over one year now and they are still in one piece and perfect condition. I had a number of serious accidents, but thanks idea of cleating into pedals- I went through with cuts and bruises only. Just imagine yourself commuting on a busy road and accidently someone bumps your rear wheel. Normally you would felt over or fall on his mask. Not when having them. They will hold you on bike or help to accumulate most of force. I mean not shoes itself  They won't let you leave bicycle unless you want it or force is so strong. All things am telling you now taking from my own cycling experience so I believe that is...

Review of Polaris MR 5000 Cycling Shoes

Great for the plates of meat

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**** There are two main types of cycling shoe, one for off road and mountain bikers (?MTB shoes?) and one for road racing riders)?RR shoes?. 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...

Review of Evans Cycles

These boots were made for ...

Advantages: Very well priced entry to SPD pedalling.
Disadvantages: Cumbersome, heavy and insensitive for road bking.

...footing, and for more efficient cycling, as you now have force exerted on both the downward and the upward leg movement. These cycling shoes come with the cleats included, and do the job wonderfully well. Their other distinctive feature is a pretty inflexible insole which gives the feet a really firm platform for cycling. 5 For owners of mountain bikes. *********************************** Shimano have been helpful in giving these shoes an MT prefix - intended to inform purchasers and suppliers, that these are perfectly suited to cyclists whose preferred form of sport is on muddy tracks up mountain sides! This fully explains the thickness of sole, the depth of tread and the general weight of the shoes. It is anticipated that the owner will want to walk and climb in these boots as much as cycle in them! They are first class...

Review of Shimano MT21 Cycling Shoes

Scone Shoes

Advantages: comfortable, better fitting shoes at reasonable prices
Disadvantages: limited range, most of them are quite ugly

...First let me explain ?scone shoes.? When I first ordered shoes from the Shoe Tailor, experts in wider-fitting shoes, I measured my feet incorrectly and found that the only shoes in their catalogue that would fit me were their widest, ugliest, most orthopaedic, brown, granny shoes: the type you might wear to go out with your friends for a scone, in your later years. Hence my friends groaningly called them my ?scone shoes? and walked several yards behind me on the way to the pub every night. They were very comfy! However, they fell apart after a couple of years of continuous wear, and once gone, same said friends took me shopping to some ?proper? shoe shops in Glasgow and I never once consulted my Shoe Tailor catalogue again. That was about eight years ago, and although I?m not exactly old and doddery yet, I am finding shoes to be...

Review of The Shoe Tailor

Dancing shoes on

Advantages: well thought out characters and a nice story
Disadvantages: likely to make you cry

...I first read Ballet Shoes when I was eight. It was the first of Noel Streatfield's books I'd read, and it remains my favourite. I put it away during my teenage years and forgot about it until Christmas 2007 when I watched the BBC adaptation with Emma Watson. I went to Indonesia and got the film on knock-off DVD, and immediately after watching I rang home to get my parents to order me a copy. It was a great welcome home. The book opens with 'Garnie' moving into a huge mansion, filled with fossils. She and her nurse (Nana) are moving in with her uncle. You don't really get any of their story until one day her uncle Matthew arrives home from a trip with a package, containing of all things... a baby! They agree to take the baby and name her Pauline. Once Pauline is a bit older, and Great Uncle Matthew (GUM) is away again, another package...

Shoe in

Advantages: Comfortable
Disadvantages: Big, ugly, flamboyantly coloured

...As some of you may already be aware, the way to my heart is with handbags and shoes. Large cash deposits are also much appreciated but don?t come along all that often. As far as shoes are concerned, I like pretty shoes, generally with sparkly bits and, ideally, bows. However, for the past couple of weeks I?ve been limping in the manner of a geriatric who has recently had a hip replaced. This could be due to the fact that I attempted to kick a 6 ton boat off a rock (that some other incompetent had wedged it on, I hasten to add) or it could be down to years of wearing shoes that are too tight, too cramped, too high, or just weighed down with too many bows. It had got to the stage that I was limping so badly that my knee had become quite sore as a result of walking awkwardly on my left foot, and I really thought that ropes and some...

My life Cycle

Advantages: Keeps you fit
Disadvantages: makes your legs ache

...I see this review and thought this is one for me because I ahve been cycling all my life. The first bike I remember having was a metallic orange chopper. Some of you might know what a chopper is especially as they have just made a comeback. A chopper was a laid back bike with handle bars that turn in towards the elongated seat. The gears were like what you'd expect to find in an automatic car with a red handle to make it easy to locate. This bike lasted me for years, then when I was about 12 years old my grandad bought me a limited edition Peugeot Touring racer. This bike changed my life in a lot of ways, firstly it helped me loose weight. Thus gaining more self confidence, Secondly it gave me a chance to get out of the little village I lived in and visit the local townand thirdly get a paper round. The paper round I had started in my...

Green Wellie Shoes

Advantages: Dry feet
Disadvantages: None I have found yet

...We have all heard of the drought conditions that have been experienced in England recently. Unfortunately, although my part of the country is reputed to be "drier than Egypt", this isn't apparent in my garden. Following weeks of rain, the old shoes I had been using outside, finally gave up the ghost and fell apart. My feet were just as wet as they would have been had I been outside with bare feet! This WAS an option - but having seen some of the wildlife that wanders around the garden, NOT something that I chose to do. During a trip to the garden centre I happened to notice some garden shoes - in fact, just like a Wellington shoe. I have to say this as I can think of no better way to describe them. They are made by a company called Willowdale Products and there is quite a selection to choose from ranging from the usual...
