|   shoes for platform pedals | jbf
Apr 25, 2003 6:39 PM | | I am looking for advise from users of platform pedals as to what shoes you use/like. I tried on some of the shoes the freeride crowd like (intense, vans) but it's like wearing ski boots! I love my lake 176's with clipless pedals, but they are terrifying to use on platforms. What will grip on platforms, but not be too bulky and heavy to trail riding? |

Apr 26, 2003 6:04 AM | | I always use either my Saucony running shoes which have a lot of tread on them to grip the pegs on my pedals. THey also are nice and light. If not them, I use my Sambas, theyre nice and light also and have a nice flat bottom for the platform. |

Apr 26, 2003 8:34 AM | | I ordered a pair of sixsixone Dually's, but they sent the wrong size. So instead of killing my hiking shoes while I wait for them to send the right size, I went to KMart. I bought a pair of skateboard style sneakers for $9. They work great (grip well) and look good too if you can believe it.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the $75 deal match up. |
