That all depends on how many heres and theres you have lying around
(and how important climbing rate is). A pound to me is about half a
percent change in climbing speed.

My big thanks to everyone who replied.

And to answer a question: no, walking is *not* very important in my shoe
selection, only compatibility to Shimano M540 pedals is imporant.

Cheers

_ If you look at most high end MTB shoes, they are just road
shoes with a lugged sole glued on. Any SPD compatible shoe will
work with those pedals, Shimano is the 800lb gorilla of MTB
pedals, everybody's shoes have to work with SPD pedals. I suspect
most road shoes would work as well if you glued some rubber on in
the right places.

_ There are plenty of ultra-stiff unwalkable MTB shoes, the
hard part is finding ones you can walk any distance in.
