which XC shoes?
My trusty old Shimano M087 shoes are nearing the end of their life so I'm wondering what people wear and/or recommend. I'm not stuck on Shimano shoes but they do have to take SPD cleats. My budget is max $200.

Awesome Warranty Service - BOA laces
The BOA laces on my 2012 specialized mtb shoes were suffering from mud and a general poor cleaning regime. This meant that the laces were not holding ie. ratchet slippage.
So I got on the BOA website and placed an order for a replacement set, which was FREE including postage from the US to lil ol Perth as they warrant their product 100% for the life of the product to which their BOA laces are integrated.

Cleats
Today I went for a ride on an old bike of mine. Just for fun I decided to test tighting my pedals (this was a road ride by the way). It seemed that with tighter pedals that i was able to go much faster, or was it just me?
I'm just wondering if i was imagining it. Anyway whats the point of having really tight shoes if you cant get out of them and crash (my shoes are really lose).
Thanks
