Mavic Avenir Shoes Review - BikeRadar

great fit any marks easily wipe clean why pay any more ?

Very comfy from the off. Got the grey ones. Look like they're made by Morrison's, not Mavic. Must shared the same branding agency ;)

Seemed a fairly tight fit to me so stayed away (tried them just in a shop along with several others in the Mavic range)

I wouldn't mind these for my MTB....They would look so sexy!

tight heel cup ? you must be kidding ! it's a big weakness these shoes !

I disagree with most of this review. The heel cup is flimsy and the enclosures don't keep your feet in touch with the bike. These are poor shoes.

Great shoes.

The Avenirs are pretty good value and compared to my old Carnacs they are lightweight airy (I got cold feet for the first time in years during yesterdays ride!) easy to wear and most of all comfy - straight out of the box. Nice to be able to go back to normal SPD plates (instead of SPD-SL).

They are so good I just ordered a pair of Razors - the MTB equivalent!

I agree with most of the above, great fit and a really good shoe! I thoroughly recommend them.

Recently got some of these shoes after reading all the good reviews and finding a great price online. Initially thought they were a tad big (wasn't sure just how tight road shoes should be) but a different insole has solved this. Now incredibly comfy and simply forget about them when on the bike - which surely is the sign of a great pair of shoes. Paired with some new Keo Sprint pedals I feel that I can really feel a difference between these and my old Spesh mountain shoes and spuds.

I have these too, they are my first road shoes!

Unfortuntly they are 1 size too big, so i have to much room by the toes, where I think it could be tigher when pedaling! other than that they are great designed and the materials are great as well! what is annoying though it, you have to be aware not to touch your front tire when turning because you won´t get that dirt off the white upper!

I would love a harder sole plate though so I might change to carbon!

I've had these shoes for just over a year. They are great - until you come off. I lost it on a roundabout in the wet recently, not going fast (it was raining) landed on my side an because of the location and size of the buckle, snapped the cleat strap. Un-fixable. Looking for a different pair next time.

Closure system and sizing are good. Sole is flexy (uncomfortably so) and the uppers are not very tight, as in, when pulling up with a lot of force you can feel the material stretch. For the money they are a great value.
