Commuter shoes - proper

[Oscar]

So I'm determined to commute as much as possible this year (no more driving around after the kids )

but I fancy some proper footwear.

I have a pair of Gaerne sports boots for weeking hooing, but I'm after some "short" boots

Alpine Stars One-O-One are more than $200
Shift Fuel .. can't find any (any ideas ???)
Gaerne G.Ride .. Can't find any (any ideas ???)

Any other suggestions ??

I quite fancy the Shift Fuel ( webBikeWorld )
Although the Gaerne look pretty hot too.

any help? ideas etc?

I'm currently commuting in MackBoots .. but fancy proper protection
Like all footwear purchases, I'd like to try them before buying them

I have that exact pair of Shift Fuels.
Very comfortable and light (although due to the construction I wouldn't say they're long distance walking shoes) and good for purpose, but one strange problem: they squeaked when you walked. I fixed it by applying some beeswax to the offending areas...

I have that pair of Shift Fuel shoe aswell.
They aren't walking shoes, but great for riding and just hanging out.

Funny about your squeaking problem Oscar, I haven't found any surfaces that have made the shoes squeak.

You think thats bad, you should try being a euro size 49/50

It's hard to find shoes fullstop, let alone bike boots.
