I wear the ones in this style that have the velcro lace protector and couldn't love them more. Well, I suppose that the sole could be stiffer, but the velcro is perfect for keeping my laces tucked and they've held up remarkably well. Plus they look gooooood in black on black.

yeah where can you still get these?!

They're pictured brown, but actually black.

$125 is a real dick in the butt for those when they retailed at $65

what about these....climbing shoes so they have nice durable soles and low profile

How do I tell if a pair of shoes are EMO?

Enjoy

Yeah, but damn they're comfortable and stiff.

not quite low profile, but shelltoes are teh bomb. haven't had a problem yet slidin into clips and they're hella durable. plus thousands of B-boys can't be wrong

i've seen some messengers rockin these.

Check the Adidias Dragons, ultra low heels and no clip catching lace lip thing. I don't know about longevity yet, only a month on them.

**** is right underneath your nose...Holla at your girl!

PS the soles are about three times stiffer than Sambas.

Right now i ride in puma speed cats. Super low profile and fit in clips and straps great but the sole is super thin and they flex like a mofo. As flexy as they are though they're still my favotite shoes to ride in coz the straps grip them so well.

I was trying on shoes a little while ago and found that the adidas pulsado indoor soccer shoe was really comfortable and had a really stiff sole. Has anybody ever tried these out?

Yea, I use vans.

Yea, I use vans.

Stiff sole? On soccer shoes? Have you ever tried on clipless shoes?

BTW, Shimano makes non-clipless cycling shoes. Dunno if they're any good.

I've got these.

Oh, sorry, thought we were talking about soccer boots...my bad!;)

I've got a couple pair of puma something or others. I like em. Was thinking about getting a pair of the sambas or another pair of pumas.

I dig these. cheap ($40) indestructible, and low-key. plus, the stylin' "ollie pad" keeps the strap from wearing away the side of your shoe.

Yeah I've tried cycling shoes, but we're talking a whole different game here. I was throwing out a non cycling specific that was low profile, more or less non offensive aesthetically, and had a reasonably stiff sole. I know sambas are popular for clips and straps so i figured the pulsados were along the same line but had a stiffer sole in my experience. Cheers.

i love asics.

i ride in these.

i actually love these., http://www.shoedeals4u.com/images/sh...e/14464005.jpg
them little ridges keep you from slippin out at all. and the sides of the laces are all hidden.

Before getting the EM Comps I swore by Asics Onitsuka Tigers and at $85 they're a much cheaper alternative.

How do you find the sole w/ those shoes? I've been debating the same ones for everyday useage.
