High tops are the king. I had a 510 impact high few years back that unfortunately fell apart (beyond saving) after 2 years. They are not as grippy as my freerider (which sole has now also fell apart) with but the high tops prevent craps from getting into the shoes when I ride.

I still have my 5-10 Freerider high tops as they're a bit more comfy if there's going to be a mix of riding and walking throughout the day, but the Unparallel West Ridges are definitely grippier (comparing new-to-new).

I had 5:10 line kings and Teva something something in high tops. I also like to wear full knee-shin pads...I used to have so much crap build up in the high top shoes over a ride!

The worst I've experienced with shoes is when both my 5:10 Freerider hightops filled (and I mean filled to overflowing...) with water during a storm cell deluge up at Falls Creek. Really wished I brought a change of shoes and socks to drive the ~4 hours home that day.

That would have been a little annoying.


Can one not drive barefoot?

I wouldn't do it myself, would feel too weird. I feel like it's technically illegal too from memory? Not really sure why though.

When I did my test in south Aussie I was 16, seems decades ago now I showed up in thongs. The testing dude told me I had to take the thongs off to do the test. Aced it

Serious. I see them around, know they are not cheap, once were in love with Specialized or mostly on motors

Ah fair enough then - yeah they're very highly rated.

What is so good about them? They look nice and have great rep, but what for?

Currently none as they are hard to get because not trendy. Long time fan of tld Lopez.

I'll let you Google that for me. Let me know and I can give you the answer.

Should have been no problem, 99% of people can take thongs off their feet.

I did mine in a small town in the NT. Local police station lunch break. Drove around the block. Literally.
One stop sign (that I stopped over), no traffic lights. Lucky they didn’t get me to turn left. I’m no ambi-turner!
Get back - “Just remember to stop with the whole car behind the stop signs ok?”. “Yes Officer”.
Stamped. P plates!

But I was totally pissed I had to take my socks off as well

That's a good price for a 10-51T XT.

If you bought one of these and a 946ml bottle of sealant from MTB Direct, you'd spend over $50 more than you would at George's. That difference means you can add a 12sp XT 116 link chain and a couple of XTR 12sp chain links to your George's order and only be a few $ over MTB Direct for just the two items!

It pays to shop around..

I was going for my full license for my motorcycle from L’s in Raymond Terrace. I had already done the year on P’s for my car.
I showed up in my Bell Moto3 & Axo boots riding my fun bike - Suzuki RV90 (look it up!)
The guy had me do a lap of the car park while he observed from the steps.

Hey presto! I rode away with my full MC license!

I've heard good things about Saint brakes so I'm assuming these are a bargain?

I've heard good things about that, but @safreek is my primary crypto advisor. Thanks anyway.
