Scott Gibbs Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm looking for so recommendation for some good mtb bike shoes that are good for trials but won't look ridiculous if I'm out for a casual ride in jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Adidas Terrex Trail Cross, got mine from the Adidas speciality sports website with a 20% code for £60 and they're my day to day shoe.

reece91 Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 FIVETEN shoes, very very grippy and will keep you looking casual. check the sales thread I have some on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Too bad that (for me) the S1 (nor the marathon which is supposed to last longer) sole doesn't last very long. Half a year and I have to buy new shoes. I'll ordered some Giro Jacket on sale and see how they'll perform.

hewlejr Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 The Five-Tens tend to run small. The beefier models (Impact, SamHill, etc.) are pretty wide and heavy, but they hold up well and the grip is incredible. The soles are thick and inflexible, which can be a good thing depending on the condition of your feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottleneck Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I've had two pairs of five-ten Freerider shoes, the first lasted over a year and the second I've had for 8 months or so. Super comfortable and rater casual-looking (I currently have the purple ones), and the grip leaves no reason to complain either. I've tested their toe protection level by kicking walls as hard as I could (yes, side hops get me very frustrated at times :D) and they probably saved me from a few fractures as well. The only two issues I found with them are 1. they seem to be ripping in the middle of the inner side on my right foot (that would be my front foot), probably from all the crank bites, and 2. they are rather expensive, this purple pair I got cost me about 100 bucks with a 30% discount, though I bought them in Switzerland where everything is expensive to be honest. But if the latter is not a problem, totally recommend them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
