I have Vans shoes now, they worn out pretty fast from Gliding but they are good for Trials, Street, Flatland, Muni, distance… They’re good for everything, I have High tops too so it doesn’t kill my ankle when riding Flatland.
I thought about buying Try-All shoes, I dont know how long they would last though. I’ll think about those depending on how long my Vans last.
I had the Vans full cab. They were really comfortable right of the box and didn’t require a whole lot of breaking in, but they wore out way too fast.
fior trials i use dvs or vans i like the vans more. and for muni 5-10s adn love them!
Anybody have thoughts about shoes with no laces, like the van slip ons. Or do they not get snug enough?
I ride MUni and trials with these:
They’re Contours walking trainers. The sole is ridiculously thick, they offer a massive amount of grip, built solidly, but they weigh a tonne. The pedals on my MUni have wrecked my other pair of shoes after one small ride, but these shoes stay solid, showing only minor damage.
Although I haven’t tried riding with laceless shoes, I’d imagine they would be too loose.
I have used 5-10s and teva links and the 5-10s are my favorite but i like the tevas because i can still do flat with them.
anyone out there use zigtech?
I got a pair would NEVER ride them on the uni. they would last 15min with my pedals
I wear DCs I’ve worn them for years starting back when I rode BMX and have never gone away from them
I am looking at some dcs. what pair do you have?
I have the Tonic and Pure at the moment but age probably had a dozen pairs over the years
I used to ride in my Shimano AM40 shoes. They are perfectly protecting my ankle bone (which I hitting a lot) and get really good traction with pedals. By changing sole you can choose hardness for different purposes.
five-tens are awesome
nike 6.0 mogan mid 2!
Split-sole
Boxing shoes are my favorite, they are really comfortable and padded.
Adidas Terrex Solo’s for me, they’re actually a hiking/climbing shoe but are perfect for riding in. Pricey in the shops but I got a B grade pair off eBay for £45, B graded because the transfer inside the shoe at the heel was the wrong way around on one of them!
barefoot alternative
I love my vibram five fingers, its like being barefoot but things don’t hurt. I don’t think they would be good for trials as they lack the impact resistance to save your feet, but they are incredibly responsive and give a unique tactile feedback. it takes a bit to get used to them but once you do its like they are not even there. 
I’m vey happy with my Five Ten Freerides for all types of riding. Sticky and firm soles, comfortable, durable, stylin’ 
…plan to get another pair whenever these wear out.
My vote also goes for Five Ten - love my High Impacts 2 for MUni, gives me confidence, ankle support etc. - For anything less aggressive, 20" uni riding then I wear my Supra Vaiders - they are excellent all round, pedal feel and cushion, support 
Tuppence worth!
I have the 5.10 danny macaskill’s and they are perfect for street and muni, I would give them a 9 out of 10.
