Not an easy thing to pick getting the best mtb flat shoe but heres the best resource I found in the end, using this and some youtube reviews I've highlighted a few options:
Interesting to see the top picks being:
Editors choice: Shimano GR9
Best value: RC Livewire
Best DH: RC Powerline
Best five ten they said was the Freerider Pro.
Its worth just looking to what you really need and just checking to see which is the best deal you can get, there all going to be great for riding with end of the day compared to trainers:
Five tens
Freerider Pro MTB Shoes (2019) - The above recommended these as the best five tens, no mention of the below trailrider though. I have read though from other sources the Freeriders are the ones to get.....
https://www.adidas.co.uk/five-ten-trailcross-lt-mountain-bike-shoes/EE8889.html - low bulk, lightweight and versatile, quick drying
https://www.adidas.co.uk/five-ten-trailcross-xt-mountain-bike-shoes/FU7542.html - mid range has neoprene cuff (mid top?)
https://www.adidas.co.uk/five-ten-trail-cross-mid-pro-mountain-bike-shoes/EF3010.html - (D30 ankle pads high top?)
Five Ten Impact Pro Mid Core - Black and Red - more for DH/enduro
RC concepts
https://www.cyclestore.co.uk/ride_c...ZaySZmwqGIjVnCko9Wni8xBFoAByuYaRoCHOwQAvD_BwE - D30 sole and ankle protection, rated as best for DH in the above report, other places also advising the same.
Abit of dry a bit of wet:
For wetter weather (according to some reports):
Shimano GR9 Flat Pedal MTB Shoes Exclusive 2020 | Chain Reaction Cycles - waterproof
Giro Riddance poor reviews
Other mentions:
Northwave Enduro MID MTB Shoes 2020 | Chain Reaction Cycles - look a great all round, grip must be excellent im sure, someone here said sole was hard and little feel, trade off for protection perhaps if that’s the case?
etnies.com UK JAMESON MID CRANK - nice lightweight shoe, some prefer this to the five tens saying there better gripping
O'Neal Pinned Pedal Black/Neon Yellow £49.99 similar concept to Etnies but £50!
