Hi, I've searched the forums, but i cant get the info i need. I ride (try to) DH, DJ and street, but I really just care about DH. I need some new shoes, and dont want to lighten my pocket too much to weigh down my feet. I have broke it down to the following two: 5.10 Basic http://tbsm.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_51&products_id=1149 Shimano MP56 http://tbsm.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_51&products_id=144 LOOKING FOR: -grip -wear characteristics (long wearing) -tough (shoe vs crankarm issues)
these are cheap, and I have seen and heard bad things of the 661 Launch. What would you reccomend, and the 15$ price difference doesnt bother me. dont care about style, and I'm a size 11 for UK i think.. PLEASE HELP!
661 launch are goin great for me! took them on a 15 km hike and they were prime!while everyone else was getting blisters these were the height of comfort, as for wear, dunno, they're pretty new. Between those two id go the mp56, the fivetens just look skinny and thin and not up to the task of a hard bush-bashing on a mtb, look like they're designed for mostly street,
thanks fellas, appreciate the help as i need it fast, keen to buy... i have seen 661's with massive tongues on them, and that makes me run for cover... aslong as these buggers can last at least a full season, and i live in tassie (rains 300/365 days in my town, fact), and ride in the wet too
