found this local online store that sells them: www.mikka.co.za

 

not sure if legit or not. brand new website.

 

 

anyway, i'm hmmm'ing because the soles are glued to the uppers. 5.10 did the same thing and learnt a hard lesson. the stuff peels off, and decided to stitch their uppers. Much better.

So... I found some awesome new #enduro shoes, that may convince me to break my FiveTen habit (I currently have 7 pairs  )

 

Behold... the Adidas Terrex Trail Cross...

 

 

I still prefer the look of the 510's but nice to have another alternative, especially bwith the stealth rubber

 

Where do the cleats go ... 

 

Looks like shimano has taken care of that with their sweet looking new AM series shoes:

Does that go nicely with your Campagnolo groupset? [emoji10]

[SuperDooperSnooper]

Any thoughts on these? I'm trying hard to find local stockists.

Bro, these shoes are so enduro, I don't even have to scan my timing chip. 

 

Seriously though, I need something I can hike-a-bike in and I hate FiveTens (yes I said it) and my AM45's weigh a ton.

Pinkbike's Take:

 

 

http://es.pinkbike.org/245/sprt/i/bigquotes.png Five Ten skate-style shoes have become the Harley-Davidson 'Hitler helmet' of the high-volume mountain bike crowd, and while there are some good reasons to ride with flexible, flat-soled, heavy hunks of rubberized cloth strapped to your feet (flat pedals, for instance, are good reasons), much of the popularity of flat-soled DH type shoes is just bro-fashion. The Giro Terraduro offers clipped in riders a more efficiently shaped shoe for pedaling, without sacrificing the essential foot-dabbing and drifting capability of a skate-style shoe. It looks pretty good, it is scented to repel spandex and it is easy enough to walk on that pushing uphill to session descents is an experience comparable to bro-fashion footwear. The Terraduro can be used with flat pedals in a pinch too, as its Vibram sole is very grippy material, molded flat over a large enough area to ensure that you contact the pedal squarely - most of the time. All this means is that you can still sprint out of corner should you miss the engagement after dropping a foot. On the subject of comfort, it took a couple of rides for the shoe to conform the feet, after which, the Terraduros became daily drivers. There is more room in the toe-box than a traditional racing shoe - which is a must for serious dirt work, and the shoe is just flexible enough to feel like the feet are comfortably planted on the pedals when jumping. Having a good deal of experience riding roadie-boy man pumps, as well as skate-style DH slippers, I would give Giro two thumbs up for making a true performance cycling shoe that handily bridges the chasm between the two. If you ride AM/trail or (dare I say the word?) race ENDURO events, and you ride clipped in, you will appreciate Giro's take on the ultimate trail shoe. - RC

Cool heat won't bring them in. Can't get their current trail/Enduro shoes either.

Thought I should put it out there

Hi Guys.

 

Looking for a bit of advice.

 

I am in the market for a backpack.

 

I have a Camelbak Mule but its too big.

 

I want something small, around 1 Litre of hydration capacity, but it must be able to hold the following spares:

 

1. Tube

2. Phone

3. Multitool

4. Pump

5. Tyre levers

6. A jacket if i take mine off

7. Sahmurai (the tubeless repair thing)

 

 

Any ideas?

I hold all that in my 1.5 litre camelbak. But I only put in a litre water.

well except the jacket. That's a gamble I take before I ride

A 1l hydration pack is not very #enduro, bro!

 

Never the less how about the Lobo? It takes a 3l bladder, but is much more compact thatn the Mule.
