For the various types of riding that you do ... what is it you are looking for in a shoe?
Eg for When I’m clipped in ... I’m not looking for an ultra stiff plank ... but I want slightly more stiffness for power transmission vs when not clipped ... to hold me up off the Pedals. This is about 10% of my riding, maybe a bit less.
For Flats ... trail to Enduro I’m not overly picky. I can ride in skate shoes and prefer less grip / less stiffness so I can move my feet. This is about 80% of my riding. I rarely lose my feet or get bounced off pedals.
For Flats ... pure descending / bigger hucks ... I want max grip moderate stiffness ... this is about 10% of my riding.
Typically I don’t have problems losing my feet and don’t like not being able to reposition my feet on the pins
What shoes have you tried? What’s your gold standard?
