With Arran starting to show an interest in riding bikes again a couple of months ago we had to dig out all his old kit. The shoes were about three sizes to small for him and we never had a pair of mtb spd shoes big enough to fit his feet. I did not want to shell out too much as he does not go out that often so scoured the net for some reasonable cheapies. I come across some Diadoras on Merlin's website and optioned for these. They landed in a couple of days and fitted him like a treat. On with the cleats and away he went. He has done a half dozen rides or so with them now and has had no problems. There is no way on earth they were ever worth the rrp of £80 but ok value for money at the sale price. They are nothing special but do the job.
RRP £80 and I paid £39.60 inc p&p
