Teva Links are ace but I think I might be getting a pair of 5:10 Freerider Pros next time.

Love my Teva Links comfy as a pair of normal trainers and don't look like "special shoes", grippy but with the ability to change feet position!

OK in a nutshell...

5 10 impacts = work well but bit bulky (and I'm SURE mine shrunk to the point where I couldn't fit in them anymore and had to sell them).

5 10 freeriders = really great, work well, comfy, durable and only downside is they take a while to dry out.

Shimano AM41 = comfy, light, work well but sole got torn up really quickly by my Nano pedals (reasomably sharp pins) and the upper perished - letting the padding esacpe.

Just picked up some cheap Duffs off CRC with sticky soles, keen to try them out riding.

Love my Shimano. Loved the E-America skate shoes I pressed into service. Even my Adidas classics are actually pretty good.

5 10 impacts still have the best sole for flat pedals, but have a few other problems

The sam hills sort out most of the problems with the basic impacts.

Anyone who thinks the teeva links look less "special" than 5 10 impacts has fried their neurons on acid trips,
