Save 44%! Okay, deep down we all know that laces are a bit of daft way of doing up SPD shoes but… they look cool. And the laces are orange. Win win.

Specialized 2FO Flat 1.0 Shoes – £100.00 – £69.99

Save 30%! Even if they are much more tech than a pair of skate shoes, it always feels like a hundred quid is a lot to spend of flat pedal shoes. Seventy quid is still on the teeth-sucking side of things but it’s better.
