Just about anything really. AM40s are the best out there for general build quality and value and have a decently sticky sole, 5 10s are a bit stickier but not as well made, don't have the custom stiffness option and have pretty poor bad weather manners.
But my old Vans are more than good enough for riding in, and with most spiky pedals you can get by with any halfway decent flat soled shoe. (it turns out one of my sets of pedals are awful with Caterpillar trail boots but the other 2 work decently enough for instance)Uncompromising extremist0 -
I use north face hedgehogs and find them fine. completely waterproof to so i can just hose them off when i get home. I am a sloow MTB rider though as have only just started and only really do gentle trails for now. will go spd as i get better and faster.Burning Fat Not Rubber

This, or some makes of hiking trainer type things work quite well, as do those airwalk trainer things from sports direct.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Sorry for the partial hijack but how do the Duffs shoes compare with Vans for stickyness and general use on the bike? And, does anyone have any opinions of the Shimano MP90 shoes?
Thankyou!0 -
I've always used vans or Ernies. Just bought a pair of 5 10's. So sticky they're awsome .0

five tens are incredible for grip and look the business too which is obviously the most important factorride your bike like a kid whilst you still can
