Shoes lasted two weeks before they cracked across the sole.

I like them both because, having continental origins, you can find stuff you can't find in other supermarkets.

They seem to be hit and miss from what I've read of people's experience.
Mine are "touch wood" still ok.
for £20 I've had my moneys worth .
aldi are pretty good on returns.
I bought some arm and leg warmers a year or two ago for £8 a pair. They didn't fit and one arm warmer's stitching came apart. When I returned them they refunded me no quibble and I saw they were selling them off for £4 a pair so I re bought both in a size up and saved £8

I commuted through the winter in some Aldi MTB style shoes 2014/2015 and after nine months the sole cracked. Full refund no questions asked on production of the shoes & the receipt. Yes they have their limits...

My last Aldi SPD shoes lasted me at least 6 or 7 years, which I thought was pretty good for about £15. They are very tatty now, but still usable so I am keeping them for rides in bad weather.
I bought a replacement pair for about £20. They are actually 100g a shoe lighter, which is surprisingly noticeable. I do wonder whether that will compromise their longevity though. I can feel more flex in the soles of this pair, and suspect that they will crack eventually. I would accept one year's use and be pleased with two. If they last longer than that, I will be delighted!

Just browsing the forum and I have to laugh at your posts Accy - Have you ever just bought something because you wanted it or do you seek approval for everything you want? If you like something who cares what other people think,
You must be a nightmare when you go to your LBS.
