sometimes you can find their kicks for supercheap on killerdana.com and swell.com, but they're usually for people who bind their feet... or clowns.

Not too comfy for major skids, however.

vegan shoes? as if a shoe would want to be a vegan... vegetarian maybe, but never a vegan with patchoulli smelling socks.

if we're talkin' actual cycling shoes specialized hasn't let me down. otherwise i just wear slip ons or whatever.


and yes i once took out a pair of macbeths in about a month and a half. i seriously brutalize shoes.

if you can, find some Vans Rowley XL2's or XL3's - they're wide, the soles are gummy but stiff, and they're vegan as hell. if you DO end up finding some XL2's, I bet they'll be cheaper than a muh-fuh.

oh, and if you can find some Rowley Shams, they suck but they fit your criteria. They NEVER break in, but they're mids, and they can be retardedly ugly, and if you wear tight pants and have normal size feet, they'll look like moonboots...but at least you'll be rocking the STIFFEST frickin shoe Vans ever made. Oh, and the material doesn't breathe either - have I sold you on them yet?

BMX shoes.. Lotek, Orchid etc. Really stiff soles and fit like skate shoes.

macbeth are the best. i've had one pair for a over a year now so i don't think they fall apart fast and they fit in a toe clip perfectly.

I'm hoping his post was a joke.

I saw a man wearing a women's v-neck blouse-thing the other day and became very confused. I guess he was confused too.

They're also the only shoe that doesn't give me back pain at work. I don't know how they'd be for riding in though.

Why did this thread come back again?

Ipath makes some decent looking ones. vegan shoes are usually ugly as ****, though... so don't expect much.

i go Vans Era. always. with 27" laces to avoid chain death. don't need no stiff soles. sometimes i'll rock the slip-ons when riding casual to the video store.
