Shoe-In

The new mt. bike shoes (Five Ten Impact2 lows) ROCK! Super-grippy. When combined with the spikey Sun Ringle Mag Octane pedals, it's almost like a clipless system.

Best part is the addition of some sole stiffness and upper support. My Van's were like slippers in that regard, so this is a welcome change. No more barkin' dogs after only a couple of miles.

Only issues? Had to swap out the black shoelaces for some grey ones to tone down the Orthopedic Shoe look. And they're too shiny and new, but a few rides will take care of that!
