N.Wood Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I use five ten freerunners which Ali C also uses, and are pretty similar to those used by Gilles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Agreed. Sure, they can make you look like you belong in a wheelchair, but once they get scuffed and muddy and that they look better. Performance wise I can't fault 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I ride in shoes like this f**king mint, had a gnarly bail, where i was dragged about 50metres with the top of the shoes grazing along the floor, and they didnt even rip through. Mint great grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason222 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Shimano DX shoes are what I use. Offers ankle protection which is a huge plus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 50 METRES? Lol wtf were you doing???Urm a big table top, but as i tucked up my trousers got caught under my saddle so i couldn't stand up, so i was kinda dragged by my crotch while still holding the bars, but i couldn't reach the brake so kinda had to ride it out till i came bumping to a stop before stacking it off the side completly, ok maybe 50m was an exageration but meh.

Mission Prodigy Trials. Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I wear Nike 6.0 or Nike skeet for riding because they have tonne's of grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 i wear dc skate shoes, soooo comfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I wear Nike 6.0 or Nike skeet for riding because they have tonne's of grip.I find the 6.0 Nikes have no grip walking in the wet and slide straight off my V8's as soon as they get damp too. I use ordinary Asics runners. Skate shoes/Nike 6.0's are meant to be a lot better on caged pedals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 best things ever tied to my feet for cycling in!Agreed.

N.Wood Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah they look good, I'm more of a foam sole kinda man though. I didn't really like my Basics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryallmaster Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 After riding the new 5/10's I have found my new favourite shoe (from tartys)!!! For years I have used nike 6.0 which were hard wearing but lacked the grip when walking on natural.The 5/10's just hug the pedle even in wet and muddy conditons.Their not too expensive either. Lewis.
