2023-10-09 Thread Ted W 
For a those who missed the sale and are still looking for something like
these I can’t recommend Ride Concepts “Vice” shoes enough. I ride them with
the MKS monarch pedals and there is no sign of premature wear due to peg
damage. The combination grips so well that I sometimes forget I’m not
clipped.

The sole of the vice is a waffle pattern gum sole (similar to Vans, FiveTen
and other popular, flat pedal mountain bike shoes). The uppers are suede,
but they have more of the texture of the back side of leather IMO than what
I think of as suede. And though not advertised as such, they also seem to
come with some kind of hydrophobic coating coating. I’ve observed water
beading up on the surface of the shoe instead of being absorbed when riding
through puddles.

You can get them for about $100 on Amazon (and I’m sure elsewhere) and for
me they ran about .5 under true to size. I wear a 12.5 in them when I’m
typically a 12.

Even though the sale is over, I figured I'd chime in on the shoes:

They're the closest thing I've found to the early 80's touring shoes.

The soles (on the basic version, which is what I have) are stiff enough to 
ride hard, road-style, (on the balls of the feet, with clips & straps,) and 
soft enough to do normal off-the-bike things. I've worn them all day at 
work, and it was OK. My understanding is that the higher level ones are 
stiffer, so maybe not as good off the bike?

They come in a 12.5 (US). That's pretty awesome, as I usually have to buy 
13s because half-sizes stop at 10 or 11.

They don't scream "hey, bro, lookit mah shz!!!1!!"

The combination of 5.10 Freeriders, MKS Urban Platform pedals, Soma 
double-gate toe clips, and Velo-Orange laminated straps is about as good as 
it gets for the combination of foot retention's advantages (which do exist, 
even if they're mostly subjective) and off-the-bike functionality and 
convenience that I've ever had in almost 40 years of road riding. I have 
flats (Odyssey Grandstand V2s) on my around-town bomber bike, but for a 
recreational / touring road bike, I've found my happy place.

The only complaint I have is that the laces are too long, but I've been 
tucking my right  laces into my right shoes since the Reagan 
administration, so that's a pretty minor complaint.

 Those do look good, I was thinking this morning that some flat shoes 
 with less mesh than my Lems could keep my toes warmer on those cool 
 commutes. Can you comment on how they fit? Would you recommend sizing up?

 Cheers,
 Keith

2023-09-25 Thread Kim H. 
@Brain - 
I thank-you for your feedback and information about the FIVE TEN soles. I 
appreciate it. 

Are they waterproof ?  or can they be treated as so ?

Kim Hetzel, who is currently use my old Merrell Moab Rovers with Vibram 
soles to ride.

Kim, Five Ten soles (in my experience) are quite durable. They are known
for being popular flat-pedal / mtb shoes, and the rubber is specially
formulated to be "sticky" in terms of gripping pedals well. I've probably
had half a dozen pairs of Five Tens over the years and have ridden mostly
mtb-style pedals, some with aggressive pin configurations. I've never
experienced the soles getting chewed up by the pins, or any undue wear from
the pedals with Five Tens. Now, my Blundstone boot soles haven't fared so
well...

My only concern is whether or not my MKS Lambda pedals with extensions 
would tear up the soles over a short period of time.
