NicNacDH Posted November 12, 2014 Share Maybe something like:Shimano SH-AM45 BMX/Downhill/All Mountain SPD. You can use it with or without cleats.Ask your LBS if he can order it for you, if he stocks shimano shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimsum Posted November 12, 2014 Share More of a skater sneaker.Show us the sole? Exactly! Skate shoes work perfectly for flat pedals Better than hiking or hitec shoes. The Five Tens and Specialized 2F0 look similar to skate shoes as well. Obviously theres nothing better than Five Tens, but for R500, these are awesome! http://nonnashop.com/images/0c21f1ffb81e7fb367b60ce06887f536_5.jpg This is exactly what the sole looks like.

Alouette3 Posted November 13, 2014 Share My skates shoes just don't last very long, thats why I went with the Vibrams. In fact those Shimano shoes also use Vibram soles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis for real Posted November 3, 2020 Share Bringing back this old thread Found these at cape union mart...Nice stiff mid sole.Water repellent uppers.Nice vibram lug patern. Two rides in and they work quite well- I figured worth a shot at R999 on sale Edited November 3, 2020 by Louis for real Duane_Bosch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted November 10, 2020 Share So they went from a great looking shoe with bad grip to a shoe with great grip that looks like you stole it from a hobo. Headshot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Jabsco Posted November 10, 2020 Share I like the look of the sole, but don't understand why they would use suede on the upper. Surely this will absorb moisture and be difficult to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis for real Posted November 10, 2020 Share Surely this will absorb moisture and be difficult to clean.Press release states the opposite.Also a fairly easy workaround to this is to get a water repellent spray and apply when new and contunue to re-apply. Only the clipless version listed on specialized sa site at this time...bummer Edited November 10, 2020 by Louis for real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithbe Posted November 11, 2020 Share Recently got a pair of RC Hellion. Great fitting shoe and really has a really solid build and can be walked in without looking like a duck. The rubber is a little less grippy than my 5/10s but is perfectly suited for longer non technical rides [i.e. not shuttle days]. DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one on two tiny surprises with the grip on the first day but you adapt to them really quickly. Great shoes all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
