I'm in the market and these look good, but they don't have any wide options. I have a wider than normal, but not crazy wide feet. IF shoes are on the thinner side the feet will start to ache after a while. IS anyone riding with these shoes and have experience that they might share?
I bought the dust up's (2 pairs), first pair has done over 500kms with the Deity Pedals and still look pretty mint apart from where the pins dig into the shoe, only slight crease.
I would rate them an 8/10 in grip compared to the Sam Hill 5/10's. (I prefer these as they are pretty light compared and the velcro straps keeps your laces getting caught up in sharp pedal pins.)
But they are super light, worked well for a few trail dig days, keep the dirt on the outside and wont get your socks wet when watering down that berm or taking an unintentional dirt sample. They aren't slippery at all, which was surprising when I marshaled a race at Stromlo and had to help peel someone off the rock garden area in a sleety/slightly rainy day.
As for width, they are on the wider side, I had the 510's, tried the newest Freeriders which ran a bit too skinny, tried the Etnies (look cool but feel tight after a while) tried the Race Concepts which just seemed too small after a few hours on the bike or after work (when my foot had settled and had some blood flow), these are just perfect.
Spent 7ish hours in these yesterday with no issues. (7am trail dig, laps of Maj, lunch, laps of Maj/test out new feature and then home)
