Grip is overrated.

Protection is completely unnecessary.

What you need is PROPER ventilation with quick drying ability.

I'm waiting on the clipless version

*Bike-to-Bar ready. For those after-ride brewskies, you can't go wrong with a shoe you don't even need to remove...

Well...in my extremely unbiased opinion...Banshee and Transition comes to mind.

Anything called Foot Out Flat Out has my vote.

I bought a pair of Teva Pinners online 2 years ago. They are still holding up, but I must add that the rubber could be grippier.

 

Still they where half the price of any 5 Tens.

- In terms of grip there are some alternatives although I still find 5.10's to be top of the pile

 

- In terms of looks there are a couple of options to suit your preference and outfit.

 

- In terms of local availability there are only a couple with varying success in terms of stock / sizes and colors

 

- In terms of durability all the new guns still have to proof themselves.

 

I'm all for competition (it's good for the consumer), but to date the safest money goes  to 5.10 as it offers local availability, great grip, comfort, local availability in a a variety of styles and colors and excellent durability. My first pair lasted 5 years before I sold them cause I was itching for new ones. They are still going strong heading into year 7.

 

Add in the fact that Dial'd have proven themselves, have a great warranty and returns policy and can be reached when needed and you have a clear winner.

Aaah thats a shame. I hope someone will revive them soon........
