MTB shoes and SPD pedals- advice please!

[vickster]

Any recommendations for shoes? I guess the clip in method is the same on all brands?

Ones that fit. Try your local shops and buy. If you do go online, go with a retailer with free delivery and returns. You may need to size up and if you have wide feet you might struggle for choice...hence best to go to a few shops

don't forget , you may want room for thicker socks in winter

Keep the flat pedals and buy some Five Ten shoes. No more slipping.

Wiggle/Tredz etc do a range of spd shoes, in a variety of colours and price points. Always buy a size up from your normal shoe size and don't be scared to return or exchange if they are a little tight.
I find the Shimano range pretty good for a first shoe. The pricier ones tend to have a rubber sole over a hard plastic,which makes walking off the bike quieter and more comfortable.

I always ride on M324's for commuting, but the MTB has and always will be flats, along with my teva links.

just prefer to have free movement on trails and in forests
