What is the difference between gravel shoes and mtb shoes?
I have a very old pair of shoes that have mounts for 2 and 3 bolt cleats. For many years I used them with spd-sl cleats, then about 10 years ago, I got better road shoes.
The old shoes now have spd cleats on them for use with my hardtail (which I rode only rarely) and my newer gravel bike. My long term plan is to replace those shoes with ones I can actually walk in. The gravel bike is intended to be for traveling by bike.
I was eyeing up gravel shoes, but this article has me wondering what the difference is.
