Thought they where referring to you and this quote,

I won’t spend a large sum on something with a particular label when something half the price will do just as good a job

They may suit Mr P but not you. Men and women can have different feet, wider etc. Order a load and try. In lockdown it’s really the only way and unless you are local to a shop that is a dealer for multiple brands then again it’s the best way. Other than packaging up and returning it’s no hassle. Many shoes I like but are just not wide enough for 116mm flippers

I am finding it hard to decide as I know these shoes will last a long time so I better make a good decision.

If you like the Rapha ones, buy both and see what you prefer on your feet in your cycling kit (no one can tell you that)

Yes for him
some people on here seem to take it quite personally if they offer advice and people don’t take it ?

I don't have a job yet, I still need to finish off my degree. In lock down there is no where to go out so that's money saved, I can study from home, I don't drink alcohol or smoke so that's even more saving for me.

dont feel you have to justify your spending on here ,there just jealous
