I was thinking about the sidi bullets or possibly dominators. However, the dominators are really a whole lot of money. Does anyone know of a solid reasons to pay that much more for them mover the bullets? I was also considering Lake mx190, but i don't really know too much about this brand. the mx190 has a vibram sole and looks kinda like a mix between a hiking shoe and a preformance mountain bike shoe. Anyways, i'd appreciate any feedback anyone has on either brands, or any input for a good shoe for aggressive cross country and possibly racing. Thanks and happy trails!
