finally the site is back up..woohoo
brandon semenuk can eat a bag of ...
got the etnies mid crank mtb shoe mini review , found them to be pretty soft, not much sole or upper support, cos i’m a ss’er have to do odd bit of walking, in gisborne the upper of the shoe whereby you stand on the ball of your foot when climbing steeply flexes a lot..the sole was not much better than my skate shoes, fair bit of flex up front, the back was a bit better...as for grip, probably only on point with my skate shoes,
i only tried my mates 5-10 in the car pk on a few gutters, but his worn shoes seemed to grip the saint pedals much better...still only a couple of rides in, one was for 2.5hrs and i didn’t get sore feet from them...but i would conclude there should be better options around,
i found them to be slightly slippery when pedalling on the flat, my left foot esp. wanted to move around a bit, did a couple of tiny drops, they stayed in place ok on them, still working out to do fake a bunny hop in flats, on logs my foot almost wants to bounce off when i land, still working on heels down

Is this thread about looking for yourself or stocking something new @Nerf Herder?
Of topic but a mate recently bought a Beto surge and it's an awesome but of kit for the price except for the scaling on the guage isn't great for MTB pressures (if you can provide them feedback)

Agreed. Particularly if old model saints. Even with washers removed.

it’s for work purposes ... I know what I like ... Sam is out injured, so cant test, he is opposite to me and wants stiffness ... Our other testers want more stiffness as well. I really like the shoe ... but I ride in anything ... so using you lot to see if stiffness is compulsory or if some mid sole flex is also in demand. So far seems me and Pink are weirdos.
Stiffies are king for flats
Also thanks re BETO ... will pass on ... generally not known for gauge accuracy
not finalised yet ... but close. Just working out some product dev stuff, they are saying all the right things which is unusual this early in the relationship.
Thanks again all

i’ll b doing a 3hr trail tomorrow, 1 thing which has surprised me, on the 2.5hr ride even though shoes feel soft my feet are not sore in any way post ride or day after..i know my skate type shoes my feet are uncomfortable by the time i take them off...i might try some vpn harrier v2 pedals, hopefully thinner profile will help pedal strikes
I bought a cheapy recently as a backup. Within 1psi of my standalone digital gauge. Unfortunately the hose is too short to reach wheels in the workstand though.
Stiffy shoes.

If there's a stiff xc shoe in their line up then I'm always interested.
These Ghost xcm are awesome for me at the moment but they've changed them for 2020 so I can't get another pair.
This is why I often get a second pair if I can.
I note there's no Aussie distributor for Suplest @Nerf Herder...

@Nerf Herder i take back what i said about the shoes being too soft, just got back from about 4hrs on the mtb, plenty of climbing...my feet are not sore at all, they may feel soft but they must have some good support, big tick for that long a ride on flats
