Recently I realised that I wear either my slippers or mountain bike shoes <\/em><\/strong>for almost 95% of the time I am awake. I can’t work out if that’s brilliant or terrible. What I do know is that it means that I want a comfortable mountain bike shoe that lasts well… and the Shimano AM40 was that shoe. It was so good that I bought two and between them they lasted me well for 18 months. That includes a full season mountain bike guiding in the Basque Country, Spain<\/a>. Eventually all things die though and so it was the case with my AM40’s, even the duct tape couldn’t keep them alive any longer and I sent them to the big shoe box in the sky and bought myself a new pair of Shimano AM41’s<\/em><\/strong>. Read on to find out how that’s worked out for me over the last month of mountain bike guiding… <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Die Shimano AM41<\/em><\/strong> shoes are very similar to the AM40’s: the same Vibram sole<\/em><\/strong> which lasts for ages and offers fantastic grip; the same front flap which stops the laces coming loose and keeps the dirt out; the same suspect looks, but like I said before if you’re looking at your shoes when you’re riding then you are doing something very wrong<\/em>; and the same great blend of light weight and stiffness<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
