Hey all, I go biking at Glen Tress fairly regularly these days and I’m needing a new pair of shoes for the bike. I have decent pedals, pretty strong and very grippy, the only problem is my feet sometimes come off because I have a crap pair of trainers for biking. I mostly do the rougher stuff but I also occasionally do the Freeride park as well.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I’m looking for in a pair of shoes, particularly the sole. I’m currently using a pair of running shoes (lol) and I think there are too many grooves in the shoes, but I’m not sure. Would a flatter sole be better?
I’m thinking of these:

Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Craig

You want the right gear for the job, the recycle shoes won’t cut it. Great looking shoe for everyday use but not made to protect your foot on the pedal.
Get the Five Ten Freeride shoes.
