aener Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well I had that problem - but I went into T K Maxx, and found these [what look like] glorified plimpsoles They're like, bright blue, and slip on's (does have laces but they're quite tight anyway).They're called Adidas Adventure - and were £15 A groovey price I think Tons of grip, very lightweight an flexible, and the grip lasts for aaaaaaages - I do parkour aswell (slate if you must...) and they've held up to a good 6 months of that on top of biking I think they rock for £15Very comfey once worn inFlipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26inch Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 skate shoes wth thin soles seem geneally good, offering feel, grip and protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_CRED_ Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) I got some Inopia BMX shoes from Tarty bikes and they were really grippy for about 3-4 months and then the grip just disappeared Still wearing them though and because the bottom is so soft they're still quite grippy I've also got some Vans skate shoes with the waffle soles and they're ace and they last for ever Edited August 29, 2006 by _CRED_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weewillywinky Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 i like the fact no one has mentioned proper trials shoes because they just look silly and despite the fact i havnt tried any i don't see the advantage. my mate just rode with is feet in the same place and eventually wore little pin holes in the soles which acted like crap clip pedals. just ride in some skate shoes dude, i've always worn etnies because there comfy and my laft pair are 2 years old and still doing me good for what ever i ride. have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
