Joe "the Dude" Posts : 1376 OFFLINE	Posted on Aug 11, 2006 What do you all wear while riding? SPD's? Skate shoes? Bike shoes? I'm currently wearing an old pair of vans, but I think it's a crappy way to do it. The soles are so soft, that my foot bends around the pedal, and they don't grip all that hot. I checked out some Oakley ones (don't make them big enough for my feet) and a set of Nike's (they make mountain bike shoes now? who knew?), and they all look much better than normal skate shoes.

I've got some SPD's kickin around but can't bring myself to use them out here, they were great back home though.

zee_in_the_snow Posts : 1498 ONLINE	Posted on Sep 05, 2006 i have a pair of salomons that I wear, and keens that I wear. Obviously the keens show a bit of skin (not much) so if you are doing anything too serious probly not the best idea. But I found the same as you joe, when I wore my regular skate shoes the soles were too soft and my foot would bend around the peddle and mine would often then cramp up and that hurts like hell. no good

he11uvagoodtyme Posts : 20 ONLINE	Posted on Feb 11, 2007 DVS and circas for me. Stiff enough so that you dont crush your feet on the larger drops yet soft enough to feel the pedals.
