MTB shoes - no cleats

[benb]

Hi

Anyone got reccomendations for MTB shoes without cleats?
I guess I could just wear trainers.

Pair of grippy pedals and some boots or boot style shoes. I don't use clips on my mtn bike but many do.

Northwave

Ive got a set (they do a wider fit as well)

10/10 for them

A few of the lads and myself wear these

And u can throw them away every so often and buy a new pair

stick to trainers. If you are not using cleats then you are wasting your money.

I have Specialized Sonoma - they are a bit more comfy than trainers and look more bike like, but have the same slippage issues

Sketchers do a couple of pairs with hardened soles.

If you've got a TKmax near you get a walking shoe from them, it's debatable if you need a stiff soled shoe.

5:10s. You won't regret it, the rubber is insanely grippy. They also make climbing and amphibious shoes.

Don't they make you fall over though?

No, trying to get in to clipless when on grass makes you fall over. Thanks.

+1 on the suggestion for 5.10s

Pair of those and good flat pedals with pins and you have to lift you foot to get it off the pedal - i realise that sounds a bit daft as you have to do that whatever shoes you are wearing, but it is sort of hard to describe what it is like without actually trying it for yourself.

Thanks all, will check out the 5.10s
