I think you're out of luck - it looks like these shoes were discontinued a couple of years ago - as far as I can see there are just a few odd sizes left at different dealers. The Specialized site itself only has size 6.

Cheers mate, think your right,can't find them anywhere,liked them because they closely resemble trainers.

Shimano do some trainer-like shoes - e.g.:-

What's with everybody using platform pedals for mountain biking these days? Pick up MBR or MBUK and it's all you see.

I just wouldn't feel safe without SPDs. How do you lift the back?

It's what you're used to I suppose. It took me probably 10 years to be completely confident with SPDs off road.

I use double sided pedals, after 20 plus years of having MTB's, I still prefer flats (did I just type that out loud? )

I use specialized tahoe for commuting even though I ride flats, on my 29'er i ride in teva links, amazing trainer like and again on flats, they stick like glue i think most people recommend using 5-10's but i really like the teva's.

I have flats on my mtb at the moment as I use it for cycling with mini me who has a tendency to throw he anchors out without warning = clipless crisis every ride.
