Spiuk......any good? (or better buying Shimano / DHB?)

[Raging Squirrel]

Seen some Spiuk road shoes for a decent price......are they any good, or would I be best to buy Shimano or DHB's?

Buy shoes that fit you well regardless of the brand

Never heard of Spiuk, but that isn't really an indication!

 

[Raging Squirrel]

well it's going to be mail order from Wiggle / CRC / Evans so can't really try them on.

 

[vickster]

Free returns though

 

[Raging Squirrel]

that's a good point.

i was looking at these....

Can't go wrong with DHB

i have the

and i would recommend ordering or trying on 1 size above whatever size shoe you normally wear,
i do find them to be an excellent shoe

yeah that's what I was thinking just now (plus they'd go well with my DHB bib tights and arm warmers!), the reviews have been brilliant on the R1.0's. Just got to decide now if to pay a bit more for the carbon ones or not

 

[Raging Squirrel]

do I have to buy cleats or do they come with the shoes or pedals?

 

[roadrash]

cleats usually come with pedals

 

[vickster]

Just check if buying cheap on fleabay

The Spiuks look the part, and you don't usually get buckle fastening at that price point.

that's why I like them, they look pretty good like all the expensive ones, just a shame there's no reviews on any of the Spiuks

ahhhhh right okay, wasn't sure! Think I'm getting the Shimano PD-R540's
