As they're on 'clearance' I'd say that the answer is no

I quite like them and if they had a lace flap I would have bought some. The colourway isn't the best, the camo bit is a bit lame.
They came in brown or white, brown ones have all sold out now (they looked better), obviously the White wasn't as popular.
Look like great summer flat pedal shoes.

I think that's why there are so many sizes in the clearance bin 😉

+1

people worry about looks too much, pedals/rider/bike should be moving fast enough for people not to see what you're wearing anyway 😉

Bought some last week.

Finally got them after a few lost days thanks to Royal Mail and used them for the first time last weekend. Pretty impressed.

If gleaming whiteness is an issue a lot of that is lost after 1 ride anyhow.

Bought some as well, they look nicer than most pairs of Five Tens, less orthopaedic.
Plus unlike Five Tens they will last.
Eh up Ian.

Same sole as the AM40's which is very grippy

My AM40's lost their whiteness within days. They are currently different shades of brown. These would be fine once dulled down.

they wouldn't be my first choice of colourway, but at that price I was considering them
I look like a total bell end in biking gear anyway, so I don't really think about colours etc when buying stuff, just if it will function properly or not

They look pretty fly to me.

One size up from my normal shoe size you reckon?

WTF is "colourway" meant to mean? That's as bad as using "trailhead" on a British trail

[b]colourway
English
Noun
colourway (plural colourways)
(art) The scheme of two or more colours in which a design is available. It is often used to describe variegated or ombre (shades of one colour) print yarns, fabric, or thread. It can also be applied to apparel, to wallpaper and other interior design motifs, and to specifications for printed materials such as magazines or newspapers.[/b]

Seems like a UK originating word I'm afraid RD.

S'alright - mine are on ebay now (only because they're a tad too small though). If they ever sell (relisted as they got no bids last week 😳 ) I'll order a slightly larger pair.

I have a pair... They look like my mum's trainers but they work almost exactly the same as my AM40s, and they cost very little. I wanted a bigger pair of shoes for winter so I can fit enormo-socks inside, and they're perfect for that. Do wish they had the lace flap but it doesn't make that much difference. Annoyingly they seem to shed mud better than the AM40s, I've made a pretty decent attempt to turn them brown but it's not working.

Let's be honest, it's not like AM40s and 5 10s are exactly good looking. And these are functionally better, and better made, than 5 10s to boot. Only give away a small amount of grip, but nothing to mourn.
