mountain bike shoe recommendations

[pll]

thanks ladies! i was looking at the mavic, giro and shimanos. Correct, inserts may be of help as well....pll could you tell me which one you use?

I use eSoles - a bit more expensive, but you can play with the level of support and they seem lighter, more breathable, to me than the Specialized (which I have in another pair of shoes).

The most comfortable shoes I've ever tried are SIDIs. But they are very expensive. If you don't have this issue, go for SIDIs.
I have Five tens for platforms. they are on sale now here and I should say that they are very comfortable for walking too and also they stick to the pedal very firmly.
For clipless I ride something like these Diadoras but even if they are exacly my number, I feel them too small. I am ok for shorter rides but I could not afford to be in them longer than 2-3 hours. Especially in hot weather when my feet bloat.
