It's getting to be new shoe time - I have been using AXO ISS Vertigos, and like the velcro closure with no laces, and ankle support. It doesn't look as though they're still available.

Anybody got recommendations for an equivalent shoe?

Oh yeah, by the way, I'm cheap, spent all my money on jerseys.

Don't matter - I think the spike heels would be cool.

Have you looked at these?

(at pricepoint.com)

These look similar to my AXO shoes (that sadly aren't made anymore either):

I can't seem to get the image to link so here's a link to the page:

I have some sixsixone shoes now (flats and SPD - I think they're the nuevo's that work well).

JBP - find out what Justbill is wearing now? I think he found some SIDI police issue shoes that fill the void that those AXOs left.

You are correct Sir!

They look like they would be hotter than hell - but then again Justbill does ride in heavy blue jeans so the heat must not be that much of a factor for him.

The way I sweat if I wore those shoes and jeans I'd dehydrate in about 30 minutes of riding.

I'm a cheap bastard, too - but I would still recommend Sidi shoes. My Dominators are at least 7 years old and scuffed to all $hit, but there is no, I repeat *NO* seam issues, sole issues, etc.

Which is more than I can say for almost any pair of footwear I have *ever* owned. Those damn Italians apparently know footwear.

-S.S.-

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Yeah, the AXOs haven't been exactly bulletproof in terms of wear, chafed through at ankles.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ssPageName=WDVW The police shoes on ebay only go up to size 44, which won't fit my big flapping feets.

Its all about the specialized Saw Pit.

These shoes are the ****. I love mine... A little pricey at 150, but SPD or flats, Carbon sole, very stiff shoe. a bunch of ankle support. The foot bed is very comfortable. More comfortable than my hipster Italian Camper shoes. Any specialized dealer can get them.

Plus they look sick.

From the Specialized site...

I had a pair of Specialized shoes - not the Saw Pit, but some others many years ago. Their durability was abysmal. I think I got two seasons out of them.

Maybe they've improved things?

I have had them for a season now. No issues.

The Sidis are apparently indestructible.

I noticed my shoes are to tight and are begining to cut off circulation. Time for a new pair as well.

Wumpus may want to weigh in. I personally am done buying Sidis. The most recent ones have not lasted me more than a year.

Dammit. Now I'm hoping that mine last forever.........

Sidis are nice shoes... They last. I havent tryed that police boot, but I always hate the flat feel of the soles, in their xc and road shoes. But still, no support. the insole is a fla peice of foam... poop.

Those saw pits are schweet b/c they have a really comfortable insole with nice arch support. There are also gel pads on the ball, and heel of your foot.
