hi guys, thanks for the info, i decided on road shoes, and i found a huge difference with them especially that i started racing track too, i wouldn't have been able to do that as good in mountain bike shoes i don't think. i am about to purchase my 2nd pair of road shoes, but because of the ones i have been ruined but because with the amount of riding i want an upgrade. i am about to buy some specialized s works carbon road shoes, can't wait.
