Last quality road shoe
I am looking for some shoe selection advice, and maybe where to buy them.
I have been wanting to replace my 15 year old carbon Northwave road shoes for a couple of years now. They are looking pretty ragged. I have mainly been looking at the Specialized top models (old and latest), like the Torch, but they never seem to go on sale, and i am not sure that they are durable, as they are clearly optimizing for weight/racing over longevity.
I want a good fitting, stiff, durable shoe, as I figure that it will likely be the last road shoe that I buy (not getting any younger). I am planning to change my pedals over from Wahoo/Speedplay to the SPD SL after 3 decades at the same time.
I have a normal width forefoot, and normal to narrow heal width. My toes / foot is a Roman profile.
